I suppose I'd trust it to make fair to very good ammo but would want a better scale if I were shooting at a high level at longer ranges.
I owned whatever they called the predecessor to the Chargemaster and found it slower and more annoying to use than a volume-type powder dispenser and manual trickle for most things where I was making more than just a few cartridges.
I'm sure they have improved but I don't know they have improved that much. On the other hand, while it was slower it was also less work since I could push the button and watch it do the work. Overall I found it not worth the bench space and was happy to see the back of it.
Helpful for load development and low-volume fairly-accurate charges. Not much use for bulk reloading.
