Good video, thanks for doing these (although a little long).
I think the inserts are definitely the way to go on those.
Has anyone actually been able to show that a 0.04-0.08gr over or under desired charge weight will actually throw a flier at long range? And if so, how much?

Sorry about the length, I felt the need to make it un-edited as I would never hear the end of it from the naysayers.... glad you enjoyed the video
Yes, someone has . . . me :

As one may already know, that the ChargeMaster will be more consistent with some powders than other, much as illustrated above. AR-Comp has regularly been more easy for my to get consistent weights than other powders I've used. And I suppose it's the large extruded powders like IMR 4064 that make it difficult as larger clumps will fall from the tube that ChargeMaster either doesn't register or will show as an overthrow. In the above chart I simply set my ChargeMaster a weight and took whatever I got and weighed it on a GemPro 250 that I've had for a long time that has a resolution to .02 to see what weight I got.
For me, more than accuracy, the goal is consistency. Whatever the amount is, I want it to be the same (or as close to it as I can get) for every cartridge every time I go to shoot.
That’s not what he asked. He asked if anyone has shown whether a +\- .04 charge will show up as a flier down range.
The whole point of load development is to find a good velocity node that can absorb any small variance in charge weight/speed.
If 1 kernel of powder is roughly 1 fps, then being off a couple kernels of powder is not really going to result in a “flier” at distance.
It’s been beat to death that most people get the auto trickler for speed. Not for the increased consistency in charge weights. It’s well known that chargemaster can produce accurate ammo. The auto trickler can do it much faster
I went from a Hornandy auto charge to a V3.That’s not what he asked. He asked if anyone has shown whether a +\- .04 charge will show up as a flier down range.

I thought the same about my Hornandy.I just picked up a second hand chargemaster. I haven't tested it's accuracy yet but it has made reloading even more fun. By the time I have a bullet seated the next load is almost ready! After almost 3 years reloading it's by far my favorite purchase.
Nice! It makes me feel better about not spending $1000+ for a scale and trickler when I'm just a casual shooter looking for reasonably consistent loads. Thanks for taking the time to record all that data.
What manual trickler and reducer are you using?
I'd rather not buy a new $100 trickler. I more wanted to know what insert that was to see if it would work in my current trickler.
