There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The day I got this product I read the instructions first. I found out the way to mute the beeping sounds it makes when finishing a load (hold the ZERO key for 3 secs) and how to engage automatic dispense mode (hold the ENTER key for 3 seconds). I found out later, that the machine remembered the mute and auto-dispense setting after I turned it off and back on again. Zeroing the machine is straightforward and the two 50g weights required are stored in 2 small storage compartments beside the weigh scale.
On my first reloading run ever I loaded 50 new .44 pistol rounds at exactly 26.4 grains of VIHT N-110 (a fairly short cylindrical powder). I required 52 load cycles since 2 of the loads were over by 0.1 grain. For the overcharges, I generally just dumped the powder back into the hopper and loaded a new charge into the powder tray. On my first reloading experience, all my .44 rounds were finished to the exact weight I desired. IIRC it took about 10-12 seconds for the machine to dispense the powder. I was very pleased with the results.
A couple days later I loaded 50 new 30-06 rifle rounds using 54.8 grains of Alliant RL-17 (a long cylindrical powder where the grains tends to clump on top of each other due to the length). On average, it took about 30 seconds to dispense the powder. I required 60 load cycles, with the 10 extra cycles due to overcharges ranging from 54.9 to 55.2 grains. The Chargemaster has trouble with long powder grains since it shakes powder down a rotating horizontal tube; and powder grains that clump on top of each other tend to exit the tube all at once throwing off precise measurement.
Even with the occasional overcharges, I like the Chargemaster b/c even when the powder dispenser is wrong, the scale always measures the weight and lets me know if I need to intervene. In the end my loads are always accurate to the tenth of a grain.
During my first couple days with the machine, I manually entered the powder weight into the machine. Since then, I have saved the data for my .44 and 30-06 loads into the machine and can recall them using the on-board buttons. For the small # of loads I have, it's 3-4 button presses to select the correct load data versus getting up and finding the book. Even if I use the book, I have to get the book, find the correct page, identify the correct load, and then it's 5 button presses on the machine to enter the weight manually and push the enter key. For these reasons, the memory system on the machine seems more convenient to me.
In conclusion, I recommend the Chargemaster since it is accurate and easy to use. The learning curve was fast since the machine did all the measuring work. It has helped me avoid mistakes in measuring powder and as a novice reloader I feel like I can do some pretty dangerous things, but this avoids that issue. My worries are eased by using this product.

Porque su manual de propietario es muy chico y no es explícito en todas las funciones que tiene y todo lo que se puede hacer con el.
Pero es el chargemaster es excelente. El mejor instrumento de recarga que he tenido
