I’m slowly gathering parts to go down the reloading rabbit hole. So far I have ordered a Forster Co Ax and 3 sets of there bench rest FL sizing dies and seater dies for .270, 6.5 creed and 30-06.
My main purpose will be hunting inside 500 yards and to shoot small groups on paper. However I do plan to take the 30-06 and 6.5 out to 1000 yards once I get a hand on learning the ropes of reloading. Not into PRS or ELR at the moment so this is strictly a hobby for me.
I’ve been doing a lot of research of powder throwers and it seems the Auto Trickler V4 paired with the A&D fx120i scale is the gold standard with the chargemaster supreme being a solid choice as well.
1. Will the chargemaster fit my needs with the ranges I listed above?
2. Will I notice a big enough difference in group size with the Auto Trickler V4 to justify the cost?
Keep in mind I’m brand new to reloading, and will only be making small batches of ammo (50 rounds) at a time. The auto trickler seems pricey for someone just getting started but I’m also a buy once cry once individual. If the chargemaster will fit my needs then that leaves me $600 to go towards a garmin chronograph or reloading components. All recommendations welcome.
