I received one from the wife and kids for Christmas. I can't believe I waited so long to get one. Loading RL-15 and Varget is so much easier now. I did the mods shown in this video and it runs smooth.

Ive got the hornady one, my buddy has this. Im glad I have it, it makes reloading 10x faster.
I reprogrammed mine and cut notches in the straw. Someone on eBay makes a nice brass tube, but the straw is free.
I can’t count how many charges I’ve dropped in the six years I’ve had mine. Thousands and thousands

When I got mine I read the Owner/Operator Manual and It said to protect from freezing. Before everyone goes crazy telling me this is not important, Pleeease finish reading. I was told by folks from North Dakota, Maine & Minnesota (just to name a few) that this was a not necessary and not to worry. But my Little 8X20 reloading shop is not heated and with the extremely cold temps we have here in Upstate SC (LOL) I was VERY concerned for the safety of my new toy. Explained my predicament to my Wife and she suggest I use the spare bedroom for an indoor loading room. HMMMMMMM heated and air conditioned, not to mention only a short walk to the bathroom. (at my age this is a real plus). You know Baby I think that is an excellent idea. Now I don't get wet , cold or sweat when annoying weather is here while I do my reloading. Still have the bulk of my presses and components stored in outside loading shop, but I do have a Redding T-7 and all my Vickerman seating dies stored inside next to my delicate Chargemaster. So thank you RCBS for the wonderful Chargemaster. I do love it.

Not to hijack the thread, but throwing this in for conversational purposes if speed in an issue.
Dead on balls accurate (it's a scientific term) down to the kernel and it does it faster than anything else on the market.

It will change the way you reload. The next powder dump is done by the time if not before you seat and measure the current bullet.
Pretty impressive little gadget.

OP
That is a lot of money. If I was shooting bench rest, it would be worth it. But, with the chargemaster I'm making 1/2 MOA ammo, it's really all I need for my uses.
