RCBS ChargeMaster Combo or Lyman DPS 3

Woodyed · June 2, 2010, 03:50 PM

I'm trying to decide between the 2 powder dispensers. Would like imput and comments from forum members who have and use either of these 2 dispensers. Thanks for any and all responses.

I don't have either yet. But I've done some reading and the main difference that I have read about is that the Lyman is much slower to dispense the powder. The speed thing is kind of important. When I read that it can take 45-60 sec to dispense 70 gr of powder for a rifle cartridge, I decided I could throw a charge from my powder measure that was a grain light then trickle the rest even faster than that. So I just bought the RCBS 1500 scale by itself for now. If I ever want to add the dispenser I can later.

I have a Lyman DPS 2 (with the upgrade) and it's not very good. I've used the RCBS and it's much better. Waiting for my Lyman to die so I can get the RCBS.
