    RCBS Chargemaster Lite vs Hornady Auto Charge?

    I purchased the Hornady on clearance... I haven't had any issues, it works fine. That said I prefer the RCBS menus and general operation.

    Range Report Labradar

    I think they are both great products with their own pros/cons... just need to choose what fits your situation the best.

    So has anyone duplicated Prime 6.5 Creed using the same components?

    Favorite low profile ears?

    Gunsmithing Action choices and Gunsmith views **action purchased**
