RCBS Chargemaster 1500 - How Accurate?

[1bamashooter]

I'm looking at getting one of the electronic powder dispensers. The ones I'm looking at are the RCBS CM 1500, CM Light, and the Matchmaster. The Matchmaster is more precise, but a whole lot more money. It will be used primarily with VM133 for Benchrest shooting the 6PPC @100 yards. I'd say the electronic measures are more accurate than a powder measure the throws by clicks or volume that was used for years at matches. In my calculations of 29 grains compared to 29.1 grains that is only .003 (3 thousandths) difference by weight. My question is, is the Matchmaster going to produce a noticeably better resulting group on paper? Question 2 - is the Matchmaster worth the difference? 3 - Does there seem to be a difference in precision results between the CM1500 and CM Light?

If you are going to get the matchmaster send the extra and get the autotrickler but for short range the CM should be gtg

I shot my first e-target match Saturday and one of the very nice features is the "impact speed" going through the target that you get feedback on. At 700y the 9 shots I fired through the "target" had a ES of 13fps and at 800y the 9 shots had a 19fps ES going through the target (this was probably one of the smallest groups I have shot at distance) , unsorted loaded straight out the box 108gr ELD's, I dropped one point on 700 and 1 on 800 that just sneaked out due to the wind catching me and Covid rustyness. My partner loads on the FX120 / auto trickler combo and sorted his 156gr Bergers for his 6.5-284 and even though his speed going through the target looked a little better than mine the scores on the card didn't, for what I do shooting of my stomach I don't think the Chargemaster Lite holds me back at all, I would love the speed of the Autotricker/FX combo but I can buy allot of shooting supplies with the cost difference between the 2.
