Electronic powder dispensers

[wahoowah]

There has been for some time a very good article on this site comparing the three main electronic powder dispensers - Lyman, RCBS and PACT. Lyman has now upped the ante with their much improved DPS3. Are there any plans to repeat the original comparison, this time using the DPS3? It appears, or at least claims, to be much faster than the RCBS and to have greatly simplified the emptying and cleaning systems. Appreciate any comments from someone who has actually used and can compare the DPS3 and the RCBS. The warm-up time of the Lyman is of no consequence to me as I plan to leave the unit hooked up and on at all times. Thanks.

I have had a dps since they came out. Had it so long lyman sent a dps2 upgrade kit when they introduced it. I also have an original chargemaster. I use the chargemaster every day- havent used the dps2 in at least 5yrs

Is that because of the ease of modification for the CM? Or some other reason(s)?

Main reason is the warmup time. You can cancel it but youll be rezoing the whole time and weirdly enough if you dispense 30gr before it warms up it doesnt weigh 30 but after the warmup it will. If you let it warmup and dispense all your rounds at once it works good. I want 30 to weigh 30 today and next week. I shouldnt have to have another scale to check it

I have a rcbs it works okay but it's slow. It has been retired for some time now

I think Frankford Arsenal is coming out with a new one.
