    Chargemaster Dispensing Question

    Re: Chargemaster Dispensing Question Don't know if that is an issue, as I always close the cover. When loading I set the chargemaster a tenth of a grain low of the target value and then double check each charge on an RCBS 505 before dropping it in the case. If the charge weighs two tenths...
