Anyone have any experiences with these two? What are the advantages or disadvantages, if any? The PACT is made in the USA and based on street prices about $60.00 cheaper.
Thanks.

I had an RCBS (keyword is HAD). I sold it as I found it to be confounding and needing a rezero too often. Interrupted my reloading "flow" too much. It wasn't as accurate as my RCBS 505 either.

Maybe you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

IMHO, buy the RCBS, great piece of equipment, quick, accurate and basicaly Idiot proof

My RCBS ChargeMaster has worked great. Like it. I can't say anything good or bad about the others, I've never owned them.

I could be wrong, but in the past it was my understanding that PACT made some of the electronic stuff for RCBS...not sure if that is the case today.

Search under "RCBS Chargemaster 1500" on this site. I posed the same question and someone posted a link for a comparison between the PACT, RCBS, and Lyman. Very informative. Personally, I purchase the RCBS and have loved every minute of it.

Thanks for the info. I did the search and found the comparison useful. I'm going with the RCBS.
Thanks,
Marc

Marc,

Take a look at the new RCBS RangeMaster 750. This unit was designed from group up to be temprature stable. That is the biggest problem I've had with other digital scales (I think I've tried at least three different scales before I got the RangeMaster). I did some measurements inside at 70 degrees. Then I took it outside in direct sunlight and 90 deg temps. It took 10 minutes for it to stabalize (normal), but gave me the exact same readings. There was a slight breeze and it didn't seem to effect it one bit.

Regards,
Kory

I recently purchased a RCBS Load Master 1500 (the latestest version), and it is wonderful. Everything that folkds have said about it is true.

Being anal, I "throw" a charge with it, weigh it on my balance beam scale, and never turn it off and have only calibrated it two times. However, before loading, I weigh a bullet of known weight on the LoadMaster, on another electric scale and on the balance beam. You will hardly ever get the same reading, but generally with a 150gr bullet you will be within a .3gr spread. That is a .002 error rate.

The complaint everyone mentions is the "spigot" for emptying the hopper. I color coded it, and reduced the number of times I mess up, but I really believe it needs to be springloaded closed.

Try it, you'll like it! Kudude
