Also another fun fact is that you can use a Starbucks (pro gun) straw and they are the same green as RCBS so it will look matchy matchy.

Not that any of us care about looks. :wink:

My wife and daughter got me a charge master for fathers day. I started using it this weekend and decided to change the programing to speed it up. How have I reloaded for the last 33 years without one of these. Dropped 85 charges set on three different weight of two powders, not a single over charge. How can you beat that 85 loads that are dead on. Rainy weekend so I did not shoot any, but will test the loads during the week.

It finally came time to load some HP rounds this coming week so I just sat down and tweaked the RCBS ChargeMaster. I ran some averages with the factory setting for 36gr of Varget and got around 2 per minute 3 on rare exceptions, with the verification delay included. Once I changed to Dan's recommended settings I got it to toss the charge with the verification wait in around 12-15 seconds. Still need to grab a straw and upgrade the dispenser tube to see how it goes for a run of 100 rounds. Looks promising :D

I don't think I can pour the charge in the case and seat and crank the press much faster than 4 a minute at max so that is the goal.
