Heck, after going to all that trouble and having the wind drop your last round out of the X ring to put you in second or third place, all that time and frustration at the bench was a waste.

You have to admit though that all that time at the bench is a good way to kill time when you aren't out shooting. 8)

Like a lot of reloaders on here im sure. I started with a simple rcbs powder measure then went to a bench rest model and now i have the chargemaster combo. After tuning all the other variable ive come to the question. How much benefit can expect to be seen on target going from a rcbs chargemaster to something that can accurately measure to the grain? Im not in the benchrest game or i would just get setup to measure to the grain for piece of mind. Im in the early stages of getting into prs style shooting. Where the shooter is more important then taking your groups from half inch to quarter inch.

chevytruck_83,
About 3 months ago I was asking myself the very same question. Having said that, it should obvious that I am a beginner and not in the same league as most of the guys here.

After lots of consideration I concluded that I had to eliminate the powder variable before I could move further. Now I know exactly how much variance there is between charges from the ChargeMaster, that has enabled me to focus on other things, to further improve my shooting.

Did a better scale improve my shooting? Only a little, but it did help me find out where I was going wrong and that has improved my shooting substantially. Was it worth it spending the money? Yes, absolutely. Will a new more expensive scale solve all your problems? Absolutely not.

Kindest regards,

Joe
