I have one of these. Smart Weigh Gem 20
I am "reverse trickling" with it.
I put a case on the scale and zero it out. Throw a charge in the case and weigh again. If the charge weight is within a range I can accept (currently for me +/- .06g) I am done. If it is light, I dump it and try again. If it is heavy, I pour just a little out and re-weigh it.
It is faster than it sounds.

Buy the Autotrickler now. You will sooner or later, or always be wishing you had.

Rbcs chargemaster has served me well for most of my needs. I've just started using a tuned beam scale for my SR benchrest stuff. For mid to long I'm still using the chargemaster as i couldn't see a measurable difference on target or in the SD or ES.
Same here with the Chargemaster, I did reprogram it and it has improved the accuracy. I run a load on it, reweigh it on a separate digital scale (that reads to the hundredth) and trickle just a few (1 to 3) kernels of powder and also have a older RCBS 10-10 setup as an additional check. A little slower but, my ES & SD are excellentIMO, and my target tells me I am good. My Chargemaster is close to pushing 15 to 20 years old.
Just my .02

I use a Chargemaster and an RCBS 10-10 scale.
This is my second CM after the first crapped out 3 months out of warranty. RCBS were good about and sent me another for the cost of shipping. This one is working flawlessly. I did reprogram it.

What's your issues with your Intellidropper's?
My issue with mine is 2-3% overcharges with bigger stick powders and 0-1% with ball.
Other than that it rolls on and gives me low es and ds through my chronograph.
I've been running mine for 3 years with 1000's of rounds charged.
With this good of service from this unit it would be hard for me to switch to a Chargemaster.
I'm not saying I wouldn't, it would just be hard.

I've had excellent experience over decades with the Redding BR-30. You get get 55-60 grains to drop reliably. They make similar larger capacity units also.
