Re: Hornady's Lock N Load Auto Charge Dispenser
I've used it for pistol loads and it works fine. When I weigh 10 charges in a row, I will get 4-5 at charge weight, 4-5 at .1 grain under or over and I may get the odd .2 over or under. This is using Unique powder. The thrower did not work that well at first. I had to re-clean and I wiped it down with a dryer sheet. Seemed to work a little better after that. I have not used extruded powder in it.
I can't detect the variation in charge weight when I'm shooting.
EDIT: mis-read your question. I'm talking about the powder thrower that comes with Lock and Load press. Please disregard.

I use one for my reloads. It has some problems with powders like varget. It will kick out more than it is supposed to. Solved the problem with putting a straw at the end.
Works great, have not seen one ounce of vertical stringing.
Highly recommend.

I returned mine to Midway after 7 months. The powders I use Varget and RL 22 would always overthrow. I tried the straw trick, reprogramming it, and it still overthrew. I also found that it had more variation than I expected from charge to charge. My RCBS 5-0-5 and a normal powder dispenser and then trickling was way faster in the end.

Mine isn’t even 3 months old and it will just shut off in the middle of a powder throw not very happy with it
