RCBS Chargemaster reprogramming

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Airone</div><div class="ubbcode-body">If you make sure that the table that it is sitting on is perfectly still, it will drop faster as well. I set mine on a separate table or stand than what I am working on. Each time it senses vibrations or bumps it will stall to get stable. When I moved it to the separate table, it sped up quite a bit and all but stopped going over the charge. </div></div>

Re: RCBS Chargemaster

If you have the chargemaster combo. You can adjust the numbers to go faster. I run 2 chargemasters and each one was programed a little different. I had to do that for the desired speed and accuracy I wanted.
You can always bring the numbers back to the orginal settings.

Santa musta missed my house or the constant hints to Mrs. GD weren't obvious enough.


Cabelas recently had them on sale for $299 and then I checked around this weekend and saw that Natchez Shooters Supply has them for $279 everyday. I finally got off my ass and have one inbound as we speak. I really appreciate all the good info. Looking forward to a real setup. The battery scale and spoon thing had me ready to scream, so it was time to step up.

Re: RCBS Chargemaster

Yep I placed the order Mon morning and got an email that night that is shipped. Should arrive on Wed. Not bad at all. I was somewhat hesitant not to order from Midway because I LOVE how fast they get your order out but apparently Natchez ships same day as well. They will get more of my business.

Sorry for the thread drift. Now back to RCBS Programing..........

Re: RCBS Chargemaster

well I messed up.

a fellow shooter of mine was going to sell me his chargemaster for $225.00 so I asked him what was the reason for not wanting this?

He told me it was too slow for him.(no patience at all)

so I told him what i/we did to mine and he wanted to see. well to cut the story short. He is reprogrammed and happy and I'm out a good deal but feeling good about helping out a fellow shooter.

I gata say I shore do like that little GREEN machine....

I've used the settings in this thread and have done the straw mod and my best load from my AR10 w/Varget is 25 ES and 8 SD.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: dar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Normally I get my ES 20 to 25 and the SDs 5 to 8. I haven't got any better than this but I don't turn necks, weight brass,etc. Once I get to these numbers I'am done with the load.
</div></div>

I didn't mention this in my post above yours, but I don't turn necks, weight/sort brass, or deburr flash holes either. I use Winchester brass.

Re: RCBS Chargemaster

The straw will help. Good to hear. It is always better to be shooting than reloading.

If a person can pickup a 2nd one. It will cut your time in half. I run 2 at a time. It kicks butt. I shot my match ammo and do great with it.

Re: RCBS Chargemaster

Re: RCBS Chargemaster

Sorry no pics.
(Bro has right now.)
Just get a Mcdonalds straw.
Cut about 3/8" off the end, and stick it in.
Factory end flush with end of tube.
Default parameters work fine for this.

Still and steady area is more important.

Happy loading on this night!

Peace and prayers to all.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: dar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I just reprogramed my chargemaster. It kick ass. I program it and it will throw H4831SC 48.3 grs in 6 to 8 seconds. Awesome. I wish I would have done this sooner. Has anybody else dont this? </div></div>

No, but this intrigues the heck out of me and first chance I get I am going to give it a try. Mine has always been accurate and dumped faster than I can fill a case - but now you are talking doubly fast.

Re: RCBS Chargemaster reprogramming

Just got mine today from my wife! She knew exactly what to buy and where to buy it in the U.S. Heck, they even knew it was for me as it came addressed to me

Merry Chritmas all.
