    I have a Smart Reloader electric powder dispensor. After reading the reviews, I swore off anything from Smart Reloader.... until I noticed the price. I caved at the last 1500 and brought one home.

    I've written several comments in threads regarding the Smart Reloading equipment - anyone who has read them knows I was VERY skeptical at first, but have been very pleasantly surprised by their functionality.

    After hand measuring its charges, they are all SPOT on. Every charge is accurate, and its as fast a dispensor as the Chargemaster from RCBS. Pleasantly surprised for a $225 powder charger. I recommend them.

    I have the RCBS electric dispenser and scale. I really like it and very consistent to.
    If your a tweaker you can program the dispense speed as well :)

    I have the Lyman DPS III and it throws charges spot on and is fast too. The older models are slow and not as accurate with some powders (stick for instances) so make sure you look at the DPS III if you decided to consider a Lyman.

    I have used the RCBS and worked quite well also. It was just a little slow for my taste, or should I say impatiences!?!?
