- Is your drum powder measure accurate enough? The TLDW: Yes, it is! I tested the consistency of a $300 RCBS Chargemaster Lite Electronic Powder Measure versus a $25-ish Lee Perfect Powder Measure. The powders I used for this test are IMR 3031 (an extruded powder) and Winchester StaBALL 6.5 (a ball powder). I'll briefly cover my testing methodology, show you the results, and cover some pros and cons of each powder measure!
Great video very informative keep’em coming !
I am glad to see you are making videos again. I enjoy all your videos. Very informative. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much!! 😄
For consistent accuracy loading, especially with extruded powder, I use a Chargemaster. For bulk loading ball powders, I use the CM and an RCBS thrower while the CM is dispensing.
Love these first-hand, average user experience videos. Hope more people discovers your channel.
I appreciate it, I plan on keeping up this kind of content for the future. 😊 Thanks for watching!!
I like to shoot for hobby and not really for competition so seeing I don't have to spend much to get good results is nice.
Grains do not always show up down range.
So while pursuing grain accuracy this might not appear on your target.
I don't need to watch the video. I've been reloading since 1980. The answer is NO. That said, I've had terrible experiences with the chargemaster lite. I had to return two of them as defective. They were DANGEROUS. Other brands I've tried have been fine.
My specific unit has been fine but I have read online about some dead on arrival Chargemasters. I really haven’t tried the other brands yet (Hornady, Lyman, etc). But, I have used the higher end setups (Auto Trickler V4). Overall, it seems like the industry needs a little while longer to fully nail out a good and affordable electronic powder measure.
