Auto powder dispenser

[AndrewT059]

Hi, looking to get a auto powder dispenser, anyone that owns one have any feedback on what to buy or not to buy?

Bought a second hand Rcbs one of a member on here some time ago, could never get it to work right so binned it. So looking for something reliable, looking to buy new.

Thanks

Im also tempted with one. I was looking at the Lyman one myself

I've currently got a Lyman DPS111 which is awesome, wouldn't be without one

How much are you looking to spend?

Fx120 and a Canadian autotrickler is a very capable combo aswell

Buy once, cry once

You and me both

I fancy one but have read lots of reviews saying about it not calibrating or not working tidy if near a mobile phone. Guess you have not had and issues then ?

I have a RCBS chargemaster lite and have no issues. I do random checks on my beam scales and it's always spot on.

Started with a new Hornady auto loader but moved on to a secondhand RCBS Chargemaster that performs very well, meeting all of my needs

I've not had those problems with mine - I follow the instructions about warming up and using the calibration weight
I'm also in a small room so don't have any problems with draughts
I wonder if some of the older mobile phones were the problem ?
Mine is regularly used near phones and wifi without issue

That’s good to hear as it’s the cheaper one and probably would be the one I was going to buy

Another gen 6 fan here. Over 5k from it so far.

I believe that combo is pretty much the gold standard for automatic powder dispensing.

RCBS chargemaster lite.

It feels a little on the slow side, but beside that I never had anything to complain about.
Must say I have never tried any other, so don’t have anything to compare against.

Had a Chargemaster must be 17 /18 years now, it’s thrown thousands of charges and never missed a beat. I’d buy another without hesitation. I reprogrammed to speed it up and added straws which both helped.

Any of these can be sped up by predumping powder into the pan. I use the Lee plastic scoops and an aerosol lid filled with powder.

Pray do tell please - what are these mods you applied?
