RCBS Chargemaster 1500 Reprogramming Video

Just got another Chargemaster 1500. Thought I would make a quick video to show reprogramming to speed it up a little.

I run similar settings in my two but if you really want to speed it up change the A1 setting down to about 5.5 or 6. Gives me 45.5 grains of H1000 and similar powders in about 17 seconds.

Re: RCBS Chargemaster 1500 Reprogramming Video

Still not impressed with my CM.
Only accurate to within 2 tenths of a grain isn't
Good enough IMO

I can do as well with my lee thrower

And it's only 26 dollars

I went from a Lee Perfect Powder Measure to the Chargemaster. It increased my speed significantly. With the Lee PPM I was trickling with almost every charge.

I liked the Chargemaster so well I bought a second. It's definitely more accurate than two tenths. I check weigh every throw. This is what I load my competition ammo on.

I went from a Lyman to the CM. CM is much better

I think I'm going to contact RCBS about mine

Great video!

FWIW,
I never actually used the McDonalds straw, I happened to have some of these pipits around and started with them. I tossed another some and he said the wall thickness being greater on the pipit seemed to hold the powder back a bit better pending kernel size. (during trickling) Overall he liked it better than the thinner straw.
I have played with different lengths and have settled on .4" of material using H4350. Also once the straw gets dirty it seems to not allow the powder to ride up as it turns, seems to work smoother. YMMV

Wade, don't you have a Prometheus? Nice to see you are still "slumming" with us Chargemaster users.

Re: RCBS Chargemaster 1500 Reprogramming Video

Yes I do, but I still have two of the CM's on hand. Don't plan on getting rid of them anytime soon either. Been looking to speed them up and since watching your video, I now have an evening project.
