Chargemaster 1500 results

And yet I still get single digit spreads...

Accuracy testing one of my 30BR's with Charge Master Link dispensed/verified charge weights versus charges thrown from my powder measure showed a repeatable trend 'on target'.

Good shootin' -Al

IMO- Chargemasters are no more accurate than a Lee powder scoop.

Don't say that...that's all I use lol

To date, I am using my CM for a 308Win AR-10 and 9mm for handguns and a PCC.
It works well for what I do. I also have a 700 Varmint Special in a Mag-Pul PRS stock. It stays about .5moa out to 300 yards with 150gr Hornady Match and about 43.5+/- gr of my stash of 335. Same load shoots about an inch at 100 and two inches at 300 from the AR.

If I were in some form of competition out even to 1000 yards for money; I might pony up for the FX120i or something similar. I mostly want LR accuracy on Rockchucks here in Idaho. Farther out the better.

The accuracy specification for most measuring devices like scales is most likely a S.D spec, NOT E.S.
Some state that in the specs (look close), some just abbreviate the spec.

That’s amazingly acceptable.

That’s amazingly acceptable.

I should point out that to get the ChargeMaster to weigh the exact amount each time took a little effort due to overthrows and underthrows. It wasn't just a throw and weigh. This test was more about measurement accuracy. . . not how consistent it was in it's throws.

Interesting, so how many charges did you have to throw to get 15 "exact amount" hits?

Let's say you want to load 43 gr.

When the Chargemaster overthrows you get around 43.3gr

When the AutoTrickler V4 overthrows you get 43.06gr.

Which one would you trust?

And yes, I have owned both.

Only threw the 15, then either trickled up or removed kernels as needed.
