RCBS Chargemaster Supreme

I bought this to replace my Lyman Gen 6, which after many years of service finally gave up the ghost. Key improvements over the Lyman are more accurate dispensing, always stops at exact programmed value, no over or under shoot. The App which I thought I wouldn't bother with is great and easy to use. The only issue I had was with the pan. A lot of wasted powder that bounced out during operation. This was fixed by ordering a MK Machining Antistatic Powder Pan. A good buy.

I have been using an old Chargemaster 1500 to dispense charges, and then trickle up to exact weight on a lab grade scale. It is a system that works very well, but Is slow because the Chargemaster 1500 would under throw or overthrow by up to 3/4 of a grain even with the straw modification. The Chargemaster Supreme seems to be much more accurate, throwing charges that fall right in line with the lab grade scale. Out of 50 cases (308 Win using Varget), I only had three or four that needed adjustment , the rest were dead on. This is a tremendous improvement. User interface is good, but I haven't had reason to try the App. I especially like the Learn feature that throws a few charges of a powder to "optimize dispensing" of a particular powder. It's automated, and only takes a minute or two. Overall, the Chargemaster Supreme seems to throw charges of powder quickly, and accurately. I was able to increase the speed of my ammo production while still maintaining better, more consistent charge weights than before at a reasonable price.

I've been using a balance beam scale for 35 years to load rifle cartridges; pistol cartridges get loaded on a progressive press (at least until I couldn't find primers any longer). I'll confess to a little OCD when it comes to my rifle cartridges, and I'm very careful with the charge weight, so I was reluctant to try a dispenser. I'm glad now that I did; the charge weight has been within .1 grain, and usually right on. The machine is very easy to use, speeds up my reloading, and is much easier on my poor eyes. The 'Learn' feature is very useful in getting a charge dispensed quickly. I can't comment yet on durability, but to this point the machine has exceeded my expectations.

This is a very nice scale!

Well worth the price. Just don't use in room with circulating air

This was a game changer for me working on reloads that needed better powder measure than the dillon progressive. You tell the machine to trickle the charge, and by the time you've seated the bullet on the last one, the new powder charge is in the pan. Easily cut my loading time in half when not using the progressive.

Very consistent powder pours for the price. I wish it was as accurate as its more expensive brother. The speed is decent but time consuming if you are loading 200+ rounds.

I’m comparing this unit to the original chargemaster 1500, which I’ve had for about 15 years now. It has always been reliable but does have some drawbacks which the new unit fixed. First off the new unit is so much lighter than the old one. I was truly amazed at the weight difference. Second, the issue of overthrows have been pretty much solved with the learn programming built into the this unit. You run the program and it optimizes the charge weight based on the type of powder you’re using. It’s a three-step process to run through and it’s a little bit time consuming but I think worth it in the end. Finally they have a drain open alarm that reminds you to close the drain valve before you put in new powder. Should not repeat that mistake ever again… lol.

Quality all the way home Always wanted one of these and it hasn’t disappointed By the time I’ve seated a bullet a further 5.4 grains of powder is waiting for the next bullet I’m the weakest link

This works well and is fast and accurate

Wie beschrieben

It showed up in no time and is very accurate and easy to use, doesn't take up hardly any space either.

Ich habe mir diesen Pulverfüller gekauft um schneller meine Munition herstellen zu können. Er funktioniert einwandfrei und die Messergebnisse sind schon sehr genau. Ich würde diesen Pulverfüller jederzeit wieder kaufen!!
