RCBS Chargemaster vs FA Intellidropper?

[bdbrown66]

Question for the group:

I've got an older RCBS Chargemaster that I bought used (thank you, FOTIS!) a few years ago. It works fine, at far as I am concerned. Today I got the latest catalog from Natchez, and they have the FA Intellidropper on sale for $180. So I got to wondering, would it be smart to replace my older unit with something newer like this? Would I be gaining anything of value, or just wasting money? Anyone have or have used both? Thoughts?

TIA,
Brian

My Chargemaster has served me well. Unless your’s is leaving some doubt in your mind , I would keep on using it. FA Intellidropper has +/- 0.1gr , you wouldn’t be gaining anything there.

if they cut the price 40% there is likely a reason for it. Not selling? why?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it..... unless you want the latest and greatest.

double check your chargemaster on another scale . if the chargemaster is consistent , I'd stick with it .

Yeah, I guess you guys are saying what my head was telling me: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. No sense spending money if I don't need to, really isn't anything to be gained.

Thanks!!

Spend the money on a couple pounds of powder.

I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That being said, I love my FA Intellidropper. It works very well and I love that it "learns" what powder you're using to properly meter it.

Which I did. Three lbs of Accurate 1680 that I found at Cabela's for $37.99. That counts as a bargain these days.
