I find my lee budget perfect powder thrower or whatever they are called is more consistant and have gone back to that im only doing hunting loads tho

I have a gen 6. Throws loads on auto repeat faster than I can keep up with when loading 223, pretty good for 7mm08 or 308.

I like it, and found it to be consistent.

Except that is, when I was using it with a 12v drill battery next to it.

It just wouldn't settle down and zero properly.

Took the battery away, and back to normal.

I don't use fluoro lights in the workshop when reloading for the same reason.

I have had a gen 6 for years.
Proof is on the target.

Wouldn't hesitate to buy another if it ever craps out.
Bit tinny but it works perfectly.

I recently purchased the RCBS charge master light after reading many user reviews on all the different brands.
It has proven itself to me, fast and accurate and has yet to throw a heavy charge in the 600+ loads its dropped.

I had one, found it to be consistent and pretty quick. Then some fucker helped himself to it from my shed.

Man i must of got the friday afternoon one

My only issue with it is the beep mine makes when it finishes weighing a charge pierces right through my ears. It's unnecessarily loud and goes on for about two seconds. Sometimes I wear ear pro around it.

I can neither confirm nor deny being a giant pussy.

I can make that confirmation for you

Found it in a shed though, so I guess I shouldn't complain

Yep have one, mines fine and wouldn't go back to any type of manual weighing process. Will generally weigh out at 0.1gr light but that's within its working tolerance.

I have had one for about a year, it has been great. Makes reloading a lot more enjoyable. If it overthrows I take a kernel or two out. I was initially verifying weight on a second scale but it proved to be accurate so I now don't bother

Used a mates Gen 6 then got myself a RCBS Chargemaster light, RCBS is defiantly more accurate and consistent but takes a bit longer to dispense than the Gen6.
