Anyone else experiencing trouble with the RCBS Chargemaster?
I am on my third one and it went on the blink, too. The first one went cuckoo throwing out random charge weights after it was about 2 years old. RCBS replaced it with a new one. About two or three years later it did the same thing. The third one has lasted about three years, maybe a bit longer. About 6 or 7 months ago it began saying "2008" when I turn it on. I sent an email to RCBS customer service tonight. (I know. I procrastinate a little bit.)
In the meantime I had been using my 505 scale and a Lee Perfect powder measure. Kind of a welcome change to get back to my old roots, so to speak. But now that we are in the throws of a home change, I had to pack all my loading bench goodies away. When it came to the Chargemaster, I turned its box inside out, packed it in and got it ready to send.
If RCBS wants me to buy another one because this one is out of warranty, (it could be, as it is definitely more than 2 years old), I'm on the fence about buying another one.
Anyone else had a similar experience with the Chargemaster?
