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?

Oh, ... well, ... people seem to like the RCBS Chargemaster.
Have you tried unplugging your unit overnight and then plugging back in?

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?

Absolutely
Used RCBS charge master for long time. Works well with straw mod.
This will probably be my next investment
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.
