There have been several threads about the speed and accuracy of the RCBS chargemaster. I have had one for 2 years, and honestly I do not think I could live without it. I recently acquired the Acculab VIC 123, and added a data cable. I use this scale for sorting brass an bullets. Last time I was loading, I set up both, and threw 99 charges for my M14. Fifty of these were with IMR4895 and 49 (I mis-counted my brass) were with Win748. I dumped each load metered by the chargemaster into my vic 123 and recorded the loads.
These are posted below, takes about 30 min to throw 50 loads, since i was waiting between each load for the VIC 123 I could have easily seated a bullet while waiting, so I am sure I could turn out about 100 complete rounds each hour.
The accuracy is quite impressive, the only real issues are the occasional overthrows when an extra grain of powder falls onto the pan, normally I would just pick this off with a curved tweezer, but I left it for the purpose of this demonstration.
I will be realoading with some R19 and H1000 this week, I will post those when I am done.
