rcbs chargemaster vs 10-10

[rhhudson]

Hi,

Just debating whether to upgrade my rcbs 10-10 beam scales to a chargemaster,

It it save a lot of time i think but are they any better/worse than a beam scale?

What do you think?

Thanks

I use both, but after I've thrown a few charges with the Chargemaster I check the weight with the beam scale, so I personally prefer the beam scale!!!

Keep the 10-10 and add a Targetmaster as made by Allan.....aka '1066' on here

Thats what i was thinking about,

But i would like my scales tuning first, i have contacted alan and he is too busy...

I am in talks with scott parker in USA see what he can do for me,

I binned my electronic charge systems and went for this, much better results.

Consistency is the key... as long as you keep the balance and especially the pivots clean and work up your load then tuning the scales isn't desperately important.

I've got a pair of Argos marble chopping boards which I spirit level one on top of the other with hi-fi speaker spiked feet, with pieces of thin plastic glued to the top to position my 5-10 scales and the trigger section of the Targetmaster so they go in the same position every time.

Definitely this

I'm going to go the opposite. For me the Chargemaster I have is deadly accurate. Initially for a longish prriod I double checked the Chargemaster loads with Hornady digital scales (nit beam scales) and found the weights to spit on. This gave me confidence that the Chargemaster is accurate enough for me not to worry.

It's quick and whilst it's dispensing the next load, I'm already seating the bullet in the previous charge. I don't see a need for the reloading case blocks...

I use a Hornady LockNload, and while I'm told it's inferior to the RCBS, it is spot on when checked against my beam scale.
So fast and easy.

I use Lee yellow Popeye's pipes or Lyman 55 to dump into a scale pan (RCBS 304) and then trickle to bring up to the level mark. Or just the Popeye's pipes and charge direct.

I don't think that on stalking ammunition at standard stalking ranges with below maximum loads that it makes as much difference as, say,an inconsistent crimp.

Far better to spend the effort on shooting a "ladder test" and then pick the loading that falls in the middle or median of the group you've shot on your ladder test. That way a tenth or fifth of a grain variation won't have any meaningful...for stalking...effect.
