I've been kicking around the idea of getting an RCBS Chargemaster Lite and was just wondering how they compare speed wise to a Uniflow hand measure? From the videos I've watched about the Chargemaster Lite it seems they are sorta slow, especially the trickling phase. Am I missing something. Whats the benefit of going electronic, overall speed, accuracy, consistency? Right now I'm using a 10-10 scale and weighing each load so anything would be a vast improvement as far as speed is concerned. Thanks!

I don't know what a “Chargemaster Lite” is but I have owned 2 RCBS Chargemasters. They are expensive, slow, and crap out in time. Buy a uniflow, a good scale, and a good trickler, you'll never have to replace them. Just my opinion.

RCBS Uniflow with micro-adjustment for rifles. Mounted on my press and do one case at a time. Block-Press-Block. Check each case after the drop, Check all cases in the block (tilt) when done. Check settings with 10-10 scale.

Lyman Accumeasure rotor System for handguns. Keep cases in block, hold Accumeasure in hand, turn handle forward & back, move to next case until done. Check all cases in the block (tilt) when done. Check rotors with 10-10.

Keep hoppers at roughly the same levels, 1/4 to 3/4 full, and use the same "swing" each time. Keep notes of settings/rotors in log book.

I have been using the RCBS CHARGEMASTER for a while and I love it.

I just got a Lyman Gen 6 and love it.. still have a couple beam and balance scales and a couple Uniflows as backup.

Because auto throwers are slow for large charges, I use a Lee powder dipper to get 90% of the charge weight and let the ChargeMaster trickle the remainder of the load weight. Saves a lot of time.

You can throw charges about 1/2 grain or so less than the target weight and then trickle in.

I have a Chargemaster but I don't use it.

Since I mostly throw 4831, getting consistent half grain throws is nearly impossible based on the Uniflow and Hornady Lock N Load throwers I have used through the years.

I now just dip, and let the ChargeMaster finish it off. Based on my low SD spreads, it works.

I have had the same two scales for ions, one is a RCBS the other an unknown..Both will toss charges so well I seldom weigh powder charges today. The secret to the older powder measures is use the same motion every time..I can toss a hundred cases and measure them and they all go center on the scale..its consistency in your operating...Ive been challenged on this several times and won the bet in each case..ImR and H4831, will be off up to a grain, ImR-4350 to a lesser degree, the rest that flow and don't cut grains are spot on everytime..You first have to get the feel of each powder measure, try it and don't give up, it will work for anyone with consistency and practice..

I throw spherical powders (almost always dead on but never more than .1 from target) but unless an extruded powder is very fine grained, I scale it.

If you want an auto trickler and you also want speed with large charges the best way to get spped is to use 2 auto tricklers. Just be sure to keep your pans with the original trickler or make sure the pans weigh the same.
