Was looking over multiple reviews on the automatic powder dispensers on the market and the best reviewed so far is the RCBS Chargemaster Lite. Was wondering if anyone here had any experiences with this unit or any of the automatic powder measures. Good and bad experiences or any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks folks!!

I've had an RCBS powder measure / dispenser for a number of years. One of the best reloading purchases I've made. Have not had any issues with it since the get go.

I use it on auto dispense mode. When a load is dumped I pour it in the shell case, and while the pan is refilling I seat the bullet and am ready for another round.

Use a standard Chargemaster. LOVE IT would not be without it. Not as quick as a powder measure but I am not in a hurry LOL
Safe shooting

Enjoy life but, remember we are only practicing for something better.

Just got my RCBS Chargemaster Lite. Ran loads with H110 for my 500 JRH. Ran about 100 loads, checking against my RCBS beam scale every five charges and it ran PERFECT. Looking forward to running with some stick powders next. So far very happy with the purchase

Don't expect customer support from RCBS on this product or any

RCBS branded items... That's the way it was for me recently when

the handle on my RCBS Summit press broke... Z E R O help from them.

ALL calls to RCBS, CCI, SPEER, Federal Premium Ammo go to the SAME

switchboard... Regardless of the number listed on the different

companies... Last year l bought 2 sleeves of Federal Large Pistol

primers. At least that's what they were labeled... 0pened the pkg.

they were really Large RIFLE.. I have no use for Ten Thousand rifle

primers... l called Federal for a solid month every couple of days..

NEVER got any helpful response. That day forward, before l buy

ANYTHING l check and see if they are owned by VISTA OUTDOORS.

VISTA OUTDOORS has been boycotted by the NRA since 2018. For

good reasons too!!

If the primers you bought were mislabeled then I would think it could be a liability issue that Federal would want to make right.

I don't mean to sabotage this thread but that is a safety issue.

l agree Greg...The outside of the sleeve stated Large Pistol.

0pening the sleeve l see five boxes of 1000 count Large Rifle.

Upon measuring the primers they were Large Rifle. Never got any

help from Federal/Vista... I passed them on to a friend. As said

above.. l wont be buying any Vista products in the future. The

NRA boycott of Vista is reason enough

OK I understand now...the final packaging was labeled correctly...

I still think Federal should have replaced them for customer relations sake as it was not your fault they shipped you the wrong product.
