    Chargemaster for hunting loads and most rifle. I use the Lee Auto drum on the turret for pistol and 556. I have seen the Chargemaster on sale at a few places. If RCBS has any rebate going on you can get them for a decent price.

    I'm still throwing the charge manually and weighing on a beam scale.

    I couldn't (yet) justify the expense of an auto dispenser. I am getting good results with an RCBS Uniflow.

    I weigh at least ten charges and if the weight is stable I just go with that. I re-check weight every 100 rounds or so. Not sure if necessary but it gives me peace of mind.

    I have a CHARGEMASTER I don’t use if you are interested, I’m in Indy.

    I've been using a REALY old PACT dispenser/scale combo. Bought it 15 years ago and it just keeps working and working and...

    Auto trickler. It's $$$ but by far the best powder dispenser on the market. Makes quick work when .02 gr makes a difference.

    That’s definitely my dream. An amazing product. For now, I use the RCBS charge master with the smaller funnel adapter. It does me well.

    I had two of the Hornady auto charge and they were just garbage, despite me being a Hornady fanboy. I had to reprogram them constantly to get a load to throw right. Haven’t tried their newest offering.
