I ordered this while on my last trip away and it arrived home just after I did. I have now had plenty of times to use it and give it a big 2 thumbs up!
The Chargemaster pours out the powder charge into the pan on the digital scale and speed pours out about 90% of the charge weight, then it slows down and trickles the last 10%, when done it beeps to let you know. I have verified probably 40% of the charges with my beam scale and it is spot on every time. There is a facility to record loads within the unit. All you then do is select the load, calling it whatever you want and press the button. I am a little cautious so I just tap in the charge weight and off it goes. It will keep filling the pan until you tell it to stop. This machine really speeds up the reloading process, with no detriment to accuracy. While the Chargemaster is weighing the charge I am seating the bullet on the previous round. Based on my results of shooting the reloaded rounds, accuracy of powder dispenser is stellar.
The one thing to watch out for is that if you leave the charge in the pan too long, some more powder can fall into the pan. This is easily verfied by the digital scale readout.
I use a Lee Cast Turret press, with a separate turret for each caliber. Thus changing from one caliber to the next is a 30 second process. Couple that with the Chargemaster and I now have a fast and very accurate set up that makes reloading a breeze.
