Greeting's All-

I was wondering if anyone uses the following RCBS equipment; and if so
please state the positives and negatives for each product:

98999 Powder Master Electronic Powder Dispenser

98980 Powder Pro Digital Scale

I'm currently using the 5-0-5 scale, Uniflow Measure, and Powder Trickler
carefully weighing each charge. I'm looking at the aspect of speeding up
the handloading process carefully and easily. Your help would be much
appreciated; many thanks in advance.

*FootNote- I'm requesting information on these products ONLY; so please
don't recommend high volume machines such as Dillon's.

Best Wishes,

I have them both. What do you want to know?

I like them, use them for EVERY rifle round I make. They are slow but I hear that you can send back the dispenser to RCBS and they can make it faster. Works well with rifle powders, but to slow for pistols ( like 9mm).

My routine is this, I size the brass then tumble to remove the lube. I then start the dispenser, stick the brass in the rcbs power case trimmer and grab a bullet. By the time the case is trimmed and 3 way chamfered, I can hand prime it, and the powder is dispensed. I dump the powder, start the next set and seat the bullet. It works out perfectly for the time.

All in all a good purchase for me.

Many thanks guys, as I was looking into the matter to see if a powder
handling change over would be in order. My conclusion is, not at this
time. Thanks so much for your time and help fella's, I really appreciate
it!
