Well I'm tired of the Frankford arsenal intellidropper powder dispenser I have. I have two of them and both have there issues. Whats the next best thing ? Not sure i can swing the Autotrickler stuff currently
 
I don't know if there is anything reliably accurate within reason. What sort of troubles are you having? Drifting? Overshoot charge? Undershoot charge? Other?

Starts beeping and going crazy. Second one i have had do this. Always been plugged straight into a outlet. Had another where the keypad quit
 
I'm a fan of the rcbs charge master 1500's I have 2. I run the mk machine tips and cups with them and rarely get an over charge, maybe 1-2 per 100 and it's 1/10 of a grain. I calibrate them every time I unplug or move it. I do my brass prep, take the charge master to my range and work up loads, I use an arbor press with Wilson dies to seat bullets. If you have fluorescent lights on the same electric circuit it will mess with them but led is gtg
 
I use a Chargemaster, but I generally program for 0.1 grain under and then manually trickle for load work-ups. The Chargemaster has been reliable. Not able to toss perfect loads when using stick powder. For working up loads it is my opinion that pretty exact loads are best.

Once I have a pretty stable load, I can auto dispense some powders for a mass loading just fine. But for a hunting load with a dense stick powder, I still tend to aim low and trickle up manually.

Have you used the straw trick or looked at the mk machine ends for the charge master?

Couple years ago I bought a creedmoor sports Trx-925 scale. I've been throwing charges with rcbs. Double checking to the .01 on scale and adjusting if needed. Loading for benchrest otherwise majority of time no adjustment would b needed. Did bite bullet and received my V4 last week. It is unbelievable. Well worth not eating for the next two months. 😂

Can you share details of exactly what you bought and how long it took to receive?
