New ChargeMaster Lite

[Jack Foster]

Just received my new Chargemaster Lite. As it came, it took 3 times longer to throw a 28 gr charge than my old Chargemaster. Called RCBS and was told that they were forbidden to give out the method to speed it up like you could with the older machine. If and when someone out there figures out how to do it please post it here. Hate to use up to almost a minute per round when I was used to 20 sec. +-. Also was supprised to find there is no repair available on the old Chargemasters once they are past their 1 yr. warranty. Jack

I don't think it would be realistic to expect RCBS to give an unlimited warranty on a electronic/mechanical piece of equipment. A year is not that bad.

When considering how many times a Typical Benchrest Shooter might use a Chargemaster over a season of shooting as opposed to the average shooter, the thing is going to show a lot of wear.

Perhaps they should offer an extendd warranty program. But even that might be unrealistic considering the type of equipment we are dealing with.

I have one, just bought another as a spare. If the first one takes a puke, I will put the second one in service and buy another, hopefully on sale.
