Digital powder dispenser

Ive used the RCBS charge master for years.
It was horrible untill i purchased an attachment for the end of the dispenser from a forum member here who makes them.
That little piece of aluminum and brass was a god send. Thank you. I forgot the members name

Anyway ive had that dispenser for probably over 15yrs now.
I remember an article with programs you could enter to speed up the dispenser.
But never pursued the option.
I dont know if it was a hack that would burn up the motor , or a real internal program adjustment that was an option.
I suppose one call to RCBS and they will tell me.has any one used this option on there dispenser? .
I love the dispenser its just slooooow.
Is the new RCBS match master faster?
Has anyone made a more rapid digital dispenser in the last 15yrs.
The charge master does all i need it to do with more features i never ever use.
Im just looking for speed with accuracy not necessarily all the bells and whistles
Is there a dispenser that fills this description
With out going to a drop dispenser
Thank you
The dispenser i have is the charge master 1500 model.
Just for reference

Chargemasters work fine if one takes time to do simple mods and programming changes. I found with one of mine that a 5.7x28 case with the base cut off works perfectly to improve overall powder drop. Push the case neck first in the discharge tube, it fits just right, and you are good to go. I gave one to my son and he loves the system.
Yes, the Matchmaster can be faster when programed for your uses. Programming mine with the help of a bluetooth enabled phone and RCBS app is a breeze. Whatta Hobby!

My chargemaster lite is about 20 years olf and is fast and accurate within their spec. It has worked great for me. I've also heard good things about the frankford arsenal unit but have never used it myself

What I do to speed up the time to dispense is use a Lee powder scoop that’s about 75% of the charge. Push the dispense button, wait until 3 grains are in the pan then pour in the scoop of powder.

Cheers,
Steve

If you are looking for speed have a look at this system… Not cheap but “Buy once… Cry once”… Even just adding the trickler unit to my Autotrickler not only sped up the throw time but virtually eliminated any over/under throw.
I you can find one used {Autotricklers do appear on the “For Sale” now and then} see if you can be quick enough to secure an Autotrickler unit.
If funds permit and you have time to wait, order the Ingenuity setup as demonstrated in this video.
FC John also has a video of using this system as well, one of the prototype early setups.
I have been told to expect that my order, mid 300’s, Should ship sometime in February…
