Thanks, great comparison. Well done.

How much more accurate would the chargemaster be if you used the cover? I use my thrower for pistol ammunition and the chargemaster for rifle.

Hornady 050106 G2-1500 scale , same as $400 scale.

I just bought a new RCBS Charge Master lite for $200.00. It will be a tool in my shed so to speak. I have a very old RCBS Uniflow powder measurer and two Lee perfect powder measurers along with various beam scales. It's nice to have flexibility

You need a stronger bench.

rcbs uniflow with the micrometer. super fast to switch between rifle loads

Great comparison. I hope someone does a similar test with the different brand auto measures all competing against each other for accuracy.

You left out the simple point that guys are going to use the beam scale in conjunction with the powder measure, when weighting out long extruded powder. You will also drop light, and trickle up to weight. This is a very quick and easy process. 6-10 seconds per charge, when I do it. If you are dropping ball powders or small kernel extruded powders, you can just drop from the powder measure and into the case. This is very quick and effective (300 rounds loaded per hour, as an example). The charges can be quite accurate, and produce very precise handloads. As an example, some of my loads in my precision rifles will produce sub 1" groups at 400 yards, loading that way. I would not use a digital scale of any kind, because they will overcharge, they are slow, and if there is a quirk with the electronics, it can become a dangerous situation. A digital scale can also be effected by lighting, temperature, and you have to warm the dang thing up. Keep it simple, keep it safe.

Thanks for the video. I am purchasing an A&D EJ123. Its has an SD of 0.03 grains, which is more than I'll ever need and it costs about 40% less than the EJ54D2.

Will this tool bottom itself out or can you go to deep?

I appreciate the relatively short, straightforward comparison of two items. Not trying to do too much all at once.

Why wouldn't you just size to SAMI spec?

I use the Lee to get the powder close to weight and then trickle to scale. sometimes it's accurate othertimes it's not i don't trust it for long range but it does what I need it to do and that's save me time.

Great video!

thanks, followed you over from ultimate reloader. Perfect for my insterests

Thank you

Thanks for the great video. I am getting back into reloading after decades inactive, and will be building my station from the ground up. My biggest takeaway is that the cheapo drum measure is definitely good enough for my needs and any benefits of the expensive one would be lost on me. Seems to me if I ever wanted to get SUPER precise I would still use the cheapo set to throw a light load and then spend more money on a really accurate scale to trickle the rest.

Informative. Didn't take an hour to get the idea across.

I have both along with a progressive LnL press. It just depends on what your trying to achieve with your loads or ammo. I find the ChargeMaster Light can keep up with me running Single Stage press loading no problem. Charge Drop/Seat/Inspect repeat. You can set the CM Light to auto dispense which makes repeating charges much faster.

Is it still necessary to use a primer pocket uniformer after using the crimp remover?

I use a Dillon Super Swage and adjust my primer pocket diameter to 1.73/74 because if its any larger you just ruined your primer pocket and also the brass. This is for Small Rifle Primers. Do several test pieces before you start hammering out the brass , and also install some primers to see if they seat correctly.

When I see the that you are forced to hold the socket straight with your hand and that it is not even guided to enter the matrix, that the so-called anvil is simply placed and jumps with each stroke of the lever I tell myself that this tool was really designed by amateurs, funny people. What a horror.

Used Lee swage die excellent results

I used to owned the RCBS Primer Pocket Swager.. it SUCKS.. SO, I returned to Midaway USA. You are better off with a vised down cheap drill with a power strip (on-off) and used the primer pocket cleaner bits.

My brain doesn’t understand the die set up … how do u increase shoulder bump by lowering the die if at any level the case can only go in as far as the shell holder an die make contact

i use the Frankfort power station, use the lee shell holder ( with an etsy holder) and doo a full lenght case trim.. it take time , but i batch load, and try to keep tings consistant, but the Lee case gage is a huge difference using the Etsy case holder

Lee said to turn bushing beyond crescent notch with its flange tightened against depressed lock pin. However, I suppose you can leave lock pin in notch without any bad effects. Actually I’ve been wondering if doing it by leaving it loose in crescent that it might give float and help with good alignment for low runout. Just thought you should know what Lee Precision told me .

Thank you! It is clear and straight forward for a beginner.

Nice, simple vid, here it is, it's black and white. I have a V4, a Chargemaster 1500, a Lyman LE1000 elec scale and an older Hornady M beam scale and Lee scoops, I use whichever one suits the end purpose best, or which one I'm in the mood to use.

I use the following: Lemi-Shine (1 tsp) - Walmart Simple Green (2 tsp) - Walmart White Vinegar (2 tsp) - Walmart Tap water - Faucet Lyman 2500 - 480 seconds Adjust for how dirty your brass is.

Skip lubing inside the neck with wax and use graphite with ball medium and use expander mandrel after you full length size. Won't have wax inside your case. Don't have to really wipe off graphite

Ottimo video, molto istruttivo. Grazie!

I have the same Lee $30 powder dispenser, it is NOT curated with large flake powder. It is LEAK with small ball power. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for.

I really liked how well everything was explained, thank you. I have a question. Can you pass a cartridge with primer, powder and the bullet through the body die?

BINGO!

Very good explanation and audio. I appreciate the zooming as well to get critical close-ups.

Really enjoy your videos. No nonsense, informative tutorial start to finish. Adjusting the camera makes view steps is first class.😊 Have you produced a video/tutorial on bullet seating I could find one, adjusting the die to obtain correct depth having determined the overall length. Appreciate there are UA-cam tutorials out there but you style and photography is undoubtedly the best. Mike AC uk

Grains do not always show up down range. So while pursuing grain accuracy this might not appear on your target.

do you deprime before you tumble?

I like to shoot for hobby and not really for competition so seeing I don't have to spend much to get good results is nice.

Excellent review

nice channel,

Love these first-hand, average user experience videos. Hope more people discovers your channel.

I don't need to watch the video. I've been reloading since 1980. The answer is NO. That said, I've had terrible experiences with the chargemaster lite. I had to return two of them as defective. They were DANGEROUS. Other brands I've tried have been fine.

Great video very informative keep’em coming !

I am glad to see you are making videos again. I enjoy all your videos. Very informative. Keep them coming!

For consistent accuracy loading, especially with extruded powder, I use a Chargemaster. For bulk loading ball powders, I use the CM and an RCBS thrower while the CM is dispensing.

LE Wilson has a crimp removal cutter that in my opinion works best if you have the trimmer. I always use the primer pocket gauge to make sure I don’t cut the pocket too wide at the opening.

Great video, i always save videos like yours and go back, watch them again and pickup more info. I have both wet and dry tumblers and i’ve gotten away from the dry because of dust plus the wet tumblers get the brass cleaner quicker but the down side is they clean a little too well. I’m going to try a little experiment by putting medium grain rice in my wet tumbler to clean after sizing with Imperial sizing wax and see if they become clean enough without getting the inside too clean to cause galling when seating bullets. Make any sense? I’ll give you the update after i try this. Thank you.

i subbed your channel do ya still post anymore ?? thanks MB ..
