trying to decide between this,
Lyman

or

RCBS

the price on the Lyman is more attractive, but i really like all my RCBS stuff

I've got the Lyman DPS 3 and it's awesome.

Very accurate, easy cleanup, and all my loads are stored in memory. It's easy to use too.

I have utilized a Charge Master for the last several months. Although it arrived non-functional, after some quick trouble shooting it's worked flawlessly, and greatly increased my efficiency.

The testing crew over at 6mmBR.com tested out all the auto chargers available and chose the RCBS Charge-Master 1500 as the winner, hands down.

I bought the RCBS a couple years ago and have been very happy with it.

Best,

I have the 1500 and it is awesome. Throws everything from ball to extruded just fine.

I like the Chargemaster. I've had it for a few years and love it for load development and loading my hunting ammo.

I have a "Pact" scale and dispenser, no problems with it, works fine. The scale can be used independently is desired to check bullet weights or charges thrown by a manual powder system.

I, too, have the Chargemaster, to stay green with RCBS equipment.

The first one I had I used 2 or 3 times and it shit out. Couldn't get it to power back up.
This second one works great, except ball powder bounces all over the place after hitting the pan and makes a huge mess and extruded powder charges are no where near accurate (always 1 to 2 grains below).

Thank god RCBS has great customer service.
My vibratory tumbler is taking a dump too, and they are sending me a replacement motor for it.

I had a PACT system for 2 years, it worked, quit, refurbished, quit again…

RCBS Chargemaster is the only way to go!

I HAD the Lyman 1200 and replaced it with the RCBS Chargemaster and have no regrets.

There's a few things I've bough while reloading and thought to myself, "Why the hell didn't I buy this sooner???" My RCBS 1500 combo was one of them. I just got done loading some 300 RUM with it and I love that thing.
