Natchez has this thing on sale for $159 this morning. Maybe it's being discontinued---who knows. If you want one, now's the time. I wouldn't recommend it, personally, but that's just my opinion and opinions differ. If you buy one, I hope you're happy with it!

Just curious, why don't you recommend it? I use the RCBS CM, but have thought about the Hornady one.

I have had two Chargemasters, and while not perfect they are pretty good equipment. I had a Hornady for a while and it seemed like the scale just wasn't near as good as the RCBS. It had a tendency to be a little flakey, and I dont believe it was as fast as the RCBS scales. I think it may have been more susceptible to noise, hard to say why it was like it was.

I agree with Riverrider on the Hornady, it works but I got a lot more over throws and iinconsistent charges with the Hornady than I have experienced with the RCBS. The scale on the Hornady dosent seem to respond as quickly even if using it as a weigh scale not using the powder drop part. Many times it would cut off then drift up a tenth or two of a grain. Now The one I had I bought in like June of 2011. So hopefully they have improved since then

I have both. I would get the rcbs. The hornady is powder dependent. easy to throw powders it's great. Varget is a pita.
The rcbs is also a more stout unit.
Chad if I can find the power supply you can borrow mine to test it out if you want

RCBS had a $75 rebate on the Chargemaster last year. I purchased one for $300, and ended up only paying $225 total for one.
At that price, there's almost no reason to go with the Hornady or Lyman dispensers.

No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

I like Hornady equipment but I would pass on the powder dispenser. I have run my 3 RCBS's and several friends and 3 of the Hornady's and the RCBS is noticeably better.
As far as deals I bought my first on sale at Cabelas about 8-9 years ago. It died after 3 years and for 50.00 back then RCBS would swap you a new one. Since then I have stumbled across two more like new in the bargain cave and picked them up for half price.
