    RCBS Matchmaster or Frankford Intellidropper

    Does anyone have experience with either of these?

    I use the Frankford version.
    Have had no issues, just turn it on and let it warm up first for 10-15 mins and then calibrate it with the powder being used.
    It’s important do this each time you change to a different powder.
    Will run faster and more accurately when calibrated yo the powder.

    Matchmaster is far better in terms of build quality and calibration.
    Warm Barrels!

    With the IDropper there's no need to fuck about with straws and stuff to make them work like some other designs. No experience with the match master. But I suspect it's made where most things are these days.
    Used an ID for a year or so and had no issues apart from drift. (They ALL drift, all brands) don't be fooled that they don't. So long as you rezero when it does there's no drama. The ID is easy to rezero and recalibrate.

    I think the Matchmaster is a different animal from the run of lower order RCBS, Hornadys, Frankford Arse. It would need to be at NZ$2200!

    Gavin on YouTube left the one he was reviewing powered up for over 2 days and no drift. Although I suspect they may have an auto zero function.

    If your wanting to spend that much money I'd be looking at a SuperTrickler.

    Didn't realise that the MM is in that retail bracket. Bit of a push then to compare a $300 Int dropper. I wonder how the Match Master does compare to a V4 Auto trickler or a Super Trickler.

    Edit ... just saw the price $2800 @ Delta Mike

    I've got a Match Master, not much to say really, does exactly what it's supposed to time after time. If the money's ok for you I'd go for it.
