Inconsistent range reloading

[foxguy]

Just curious, what powder are you using?
Some powders drop easier than others out of the 1500 drop tube, a reducer insert in the drop tube may help if that is a problem.

I never load anywhere but the range, so I bet your problem is with the Chargemaster 1500. I started out with one.
I now use a Chargemaster Lite. In my opinion, it is a far superior unit than the original 1500 for outdoor loading. It is more compact, The wind guard actually works, the best I have seen. It has a built in level, and the charge tube is redesigned to avoid powder grains from just falling out. It throws plenty accurate for any shooting discipline.
I shoot thousands of rounds a year, every one loaded at the range, either in practice or a match. I haul the CM Lite everywhere. I keep a spare, but the one I use has been in service ever since RCBS came out with it.
One thing I do use is the actual power source that comes with the unit. I simply plug it into a small inverter from Best Buy, which is powered by a small motorcycle battery. This gives very consistent and clean voltage.
I think you are on the right track by learning to load at the range. It is by far the best option for finding what your barrel likes And for practice in general.

the single big draw back to loading at the range is you will catch yourself staying all day.

I have to disagree with that, just take the wife out to dinner when you be put home, lol.

I dont understand the tube method of transporting powder.... if you already know the charge weights, why not load them up at the bench? I like the idea of a box to put the scale in, will give that a try along with a leveling method.

PD, I assume your only chasing one powder at a time so load 30 tubes of the latest charge. Load the rest with .1, .2 , and point 3 grains. Add as needed. Preliminary testing all starts with 2 shot groups. It works.
