Default RCBS Chargemaster Vs Other Forms of Powder Measuring.

I picked up a RCBS Chargemaster 1500 from an estate sale a while ago. I finally got it off the shelf to try out. I normally use either Lee Spoons or a RCBS Uniflow or a Lyman #55 Powder measure for my loading.

The Chargemaster is definitely slower than the spoons or powder measures. But according to the scale it is dropping the exact powder weight each and every time. Do not need to check and recheck the powder measures with a scale, when using the Chargemaster.

I am making up a bunch of .38 Special 148 grain HBWC's for my S&W Model 52-1. 50 will be thrown with Lee Spoons and 50 with the Chargemaster. I will shoot them on the range next Friday against each other to check their accuracy.

Any pro's or con's from board members on the Chargemaster?
