Powder dispensers? Pros and cons?

I have the RCBS chargemaster supreme and while it is spendy, it works extremely well. You need to warm it up 20-30 and calibrate. It really speeds up the loading process.

One other thing to consider is that I primarily, almost exclusively, load for handgun cartridges. So, we’re talking about 5.5±0.2 gr or maybe on the high side 13.0±0.2 gr charge weights. Rifle charges would be far less sensitive to the ±0.2 errors.

For handgun cartridges measuring by volume has always worked well for me. Either straight out of my Harrel's or my Dillon 550 with only an occasional safety spot check on a my 10-10. I'm pretty picky about rifle so I drop out of a Harrel's and trickle up on my 10-10. Not saying anything bad about electronic measures or measuring equipment but I retired from the machinist trade this spring and the reliability of the electronic measuring tools, regardless of brand, has made me loose trust in them.

RCBS, or Hornady, or Redding, etc......

Yep.

I have an older Lyman 1200 that works well it's slow. An auto disc or even ppm measuring volume is way quicker.
