Re: High qty reloading of match rounds, 2 Chargemaster
I have two, but only use one at a time. I seat one while the chargemaster is throwing the next. I can not see much speed improvement in running two. The only reason I have two charge masters is to not have to keep changing powder types.

Re: High qty reloading of match rounds, 2 Chargemaster
I found two very useful and indeed faster than one.

Re: High qty reloading of match rounds, 2 Chargemaster
With my bench set up (which is a very nice set up, but is not 100% solid) I cannot run the press as I run the CM close by.
What I am thinking is that I can run automatic on one with a loading block next to it and automatic on the other with a loading block next to it.
Pour one, pour the other, repeat. I have several loading blocks that I made myself that hold 50rounds and in about the same time I can pour 100rounds as I do 50 (with my set up).
I figure I will label each block with CM1 or CM2 and add that to my labels to be able to segregate my loads per CM.
I just feel it would keep me drilled to the bench and I would have 200 rounds to push bullets in within a much shorter amount of time.
I may be wrong, but ordered another today. Guess I will find out. As much load development as I do, it would also be nice to have one powder in one, and another in the other unit.
I'll check out your link in a bit Jasonk! Thanks
*** I have the Giraud as well as a couple other items to speed up the brass process, it's the powder procedure that is kicking me. Satisfy one area, then move on to the next.

Re: High qty reloading of match rounds, 2 Chargemaster
Still do everything by hand but I usually use a thrower that throws a couple under and trickle up. Using it should speed your chargmaster up significantly and is much less in cost than a second chargemaster. Chink chink trickle trickle

Re: High qty reloading of match rounds, 2 Chargemaster
There are other ways to accomplish it, but two Chargemasters speeds up the process while still keeping it error-free, as long as I double-check the final thrown weight. I also justified the purchase of a second one based on the fact that I'd like to have a backup should one go out.

Re: High qty reloading of match rounds, 2 Chargemaster
Have some bench organizing to do now, but is much much faster than running just one. My older unit is a touch faster than the newer. It will run up to less than one gr then trickle. The new one runs up to 2grs from target weight then trickles.
I didn't want to drop the coin on another, but after running it tonight I am happy I did.

Re: High qty reloading of match rounds, 2 Chargemaster
100 rounds in 45 minutes is what I am seeing with dueling Chargemasters. Keeps me from stepping away.
Haven't looked back yet and will, but does anyone have the modification process link handy? I may tinker with the new one to try and get it evened out with my old or speed them both up.
Is it worth it? I think I can justify it with the amount I shoot and limitations.
