RCBS Chargemaster
This may have been asked before but I will ask again. Does anyone use this to measure/load black powder, I know the caution states smokeless only but in the real world can it be used safely without static build up and possible ignition. Please provide your input. Thank you

Re: RCBS Chargemaster
Over the past 10 to 12 years, I wore one out, the dispenser motor quit. I load for 3 shooters and we go thru about 30 pounds of powder a year. Sent it back RCBS for repair and they replaced it free of charge.

Re: RCBS Chargemaster
I have two that they would not fix, scales and dispensers. If you need parts let me know.

Re: RCBS Chargemaster
I, like Kurt have two that quit on me. Rcbs suggested i send them to Pierce, Arizona for repair. The scale was the problem with both. One lasted almost two years, the other less than one year. Since I use them for smokeless and black powder, the warranty was void. I'll not buy another Chargemaster. CO
