Just came across this on Midway. Wonder if it'll be worth the money. Anyone had a chance to play with one yet?

I think I'd wait a year for any problems with it to crop-up. Who knows? It might have wandering problems or overcharge problems. $900 is a lot of scratch to lay down on a new product. I'd have to add $63.83 in sales tax if I imported one into Nevada. Sure, they tested it. But did they have tens of thousands of users testing it with all manner of degrees of TLC? Most likely not. I'd wait and see how it pans-out...

I think they need to come up with a Matchmaster Lite with out the Bluetooth Technology and come in around $500.00. I do not need Bluetooth and I hate paying for something that I will never use. Wasted Money for me.
I felt the same way about KenyaCare...
I wish I had that kind of money to waste.
For a few bucks more you can get the A&D scales and something that is proven. The other thing I noticed on it it looks like it dumps the powder out the bottom, which means your going to have move it every time to change powder. It'll be interesting if any of the gun mags give it a try. idcwby
Midways invention, RCBS doesn't know they need to be building them.
RCBS gave up on it already, see them at a clearance price in a month. idcwby

Like the one guy said above I wouldn't touch it for at least another 6 months. I suspect the price will come down too because not everyone is going to pay $900 for a powder scale. As with any type of new electronics, I guarantee there will be issues with the first ones out. Wait it out a bit before purchasing.

I agree on waiting and cost is way too high. I just bought my first chargemaster and cried about that, lol. Guess you gotta pay to play!
If I'm spending that kind of money I'm getting an A&D scale with the auto trickler for $750. I'll throw my charges with my Redding BR3 or just spend $1400 and get the scale, auto trickler and auto throw. But for now my Bald Eagle scale, Redding BR3, and Frankfort arsenal manual trickler works fine by me. I only load at the most 100 rounds in one sitting, so for me I don't mind if it takes an extra 30 mins. I also know how accurate and consistent this is for me, so I don't know if I'd have complete faith in the RCBS Match Master.
