I have a RCBS uniflow that I have used for years, but I am not happy with its consistency. While I am not loading for absolute supreme accuracy, I like to have confidence in my ammo when i need to shoot a coyote at 400 yards plus. For a long time I would throw low and trickle up, but that takes considerable time, something I do not always have.
Today I was using my dillon 550 to load some 45 acp and it seemed like the measure was throwing very consistently with unique. So, I thought I would try to load some 223 with the dillon, I had to install a large charge bar. After well over an hour getting it "dialed in", i finally gave up. It would throw between 25.2gr and 25.9gr! So after that hour plus I have about 20 rounds loaded after I weighed each charge. Tossing the bad ones back in and throwing until I got a good one. Talk about a frustrating waste of time.
I have read about the chargemasters on here and it seems like they are slow. Or the Harrels, or the Redding, are they worth the money or should I just continue to throw low and trickle up?
Money is not the issue, if there is a thrower that will throw consistent charges, I want to try it.
I run a lot of different powders in various calibers, from unique and blue dot to 748 and 760 to imr4350 and imr 3031.
