After My RCBS scale died after 3 weeks, i was waiting for the new Chargemaster Lite to get released. I got a Chargemaster, which died right out the box. I soon learned that the RCBS only had a 1 year warranty. The A&D fx120i has a 5 year warranty, and is faster than 2 Chargemasters. Its a no brainer investment from a time savings perspective. My time is valuable, so it was an easy decision to make. After buying the scale and Autotrickler. You should also get the certified checkweight. It never stops. @6.5 guys: great video as always! keep them coming.

Thank you for your video. You bring out some good points about the auto trickler and FX120i. But I don't think you stress the time savings enough. I reload about 100 times a year and I save about 20 minutes each time I load with the autotrickler and FX120I. For me it could be said that the trickler and scale pays for itself in about a year and half. I also saved about an hour of my time by having Cambridge Environmental program the scale for me for $20. In addition I bought the scale and autotrickler from the same place, Cambridge Environmental. It was more convenient. Thanks again, Brant

Excellent video. I have been looking at this setup for a while. Currently running 2 Charge Master's. Thank you!

I just got one of these last week and it rocks!! 20 min after arrival, I was loading ammo with 10 second fill times. It works as expected and is amazingly accurate, no overthrows like the Charge Master or Hornady Lok-N-Load.

Great technical review. Great detail and very beneficial. Keep them coming.

Hey 6.5 Guys- great video. Just got my setup and looking forward to comparing notes!

I have the same scale. It's by far the best you can get for reloading. It measures to 2/100ths of a grain (not 1/100th like they say in the video). However, that's plenty precise to measure individual granules of powder. On top of that, there are other inaccuracies in digital scales where the displayed weight is only so reliable. This model is so well made you can trust the display every time. I don't reload enough to warrant the auto trickler for $450, but I can see myself making that investment as I grow in the sport. Great video. Thanks guys!

Hands down the best way to measure powder. I highly recommend this as well. I have a charge master it's good but it's not accurate. I also have my Dillion xl650 with the micrometer installed on the powder bar. Nothing comes close to the accuracy. I am shooting a GA Precision 6.5GAP 4S and want to squeeze everything out of it and this is the way to do it. The only thing that could come close to this setup is a Prometheus powder scale but it's 5 times the cost as in $5,000 and to buy one is a nightmare... no joke.

I remember back nearly 20 years watching DAVID TUBB`s HIGHPOWER RIFLE RELOADING video his set up, was cutting edge stuff and must have cost him around $1,000 back then and that was crazy money for a reloading scale/thrower , and that was measuring to the kernel and was out of the reach of most reloaders but if you want to be the best , you have to buy the best or know a guy who has the best gear and use his when he is not looking or go haves with him to split the cost then you are only $500 for a top of the line unit . So that set cost is a lot of money and to a guy who aspires to be the top shooter in the long run , " buy once cry once , " comes to mind . Quality does not come cheap , and hoping it works out for you guys in the durability of the units . The RCBS + the HORNADY units look in my eyes a more durable unit , might not be as accurate to the 0.01 of a grain, but time will tell how well the A&D FX120-i scale combo turns out .

i bought one of these it works amazing BUT there is a learning curve it took me 5-6 hours to get it fully dialed in yes my scores did improve a lot ...

I make up aluminum foil weights that matches my pet loads that way I just put my test weight (pet loads) in pan and hit print. Makes setup fast. Plus you can check scale for drift as u go

Appreciate your review tremendously! Steve, can you share some detail regarding your modification the FX120i side wall for inserting the autotrickler tube? I'm assuming the frame is plastic? What size drill bit etc...any difficulties completing the process? Just wondering why the mod is not an option at purchase? Thanks!

Aren't we getting to the point where the law of diminishing returns kicks in? Is this benchrest level of OCD necessary? $1000 will get THREE chargemasters and will be within Scott's .2gr window of acceptability (and he was talking about a volumetric powder drop loading progressively). A great thorough review of the product though, keep em coming, thanks for all your efforts.

I use a Chargemaster and double weigh the powder charges on a Bald Eagle electronic scale and a Dandy electronic Trickler. It takes time to weigh my charges to the 100th of a grain, but I also weigh my bullets and my brass. Removing as many of the variables is the key to precision rifle success, leaving only you and the wind to contend with. I earned my NRA High Master's Classification card in F-class by doing these tedious steps and using this equipment so diminishing returns be damned. My Chargemaster is also very accurate so maybe I got lucky.

And I though spending $125 was too much. The setup is really slick though! The accuracy and speed is mind blowing!

I find the combination of the Charge Master type thrower (I personally use the Lyman Gen6) and a milligram scale (I use Sartorious) is the fastest for precision loading.

Wow! For $540.00 you can buy the RCBS Chargemaster, a Dandy Trickler and a Gempro 250 scale that measures to .020 of a grain! That's the setup I have and my ES and SD's are below 10 fps.

Y’all need to get the V3 electronics upgrade!!

Another great video! Thanks guys.What is involved with changing out Powers? Do you have to calibrate again. Be interesting to see a video of changing powders.

@6.5guys Did you ever see a difference in SD numbers?

I would like to see a blind test between these new super duper powder/scale combos vs something like the tried and trued Chargemaster. I know on my Chargemaster both my 6.5 SD is below 5FPS. That's using a CM 1500 and CM Lite.

I'm really interested to see if using this shows any advantage vs like a chargemaster or other slightly less accurate system. I'm also really hoping a big company will figure out how to produce a quality item like this at a price point down around $500 ish.

Any update with a range report?

what happens if you live in leftard-fornia, and the plastic drinking straws are banned? That'll stuff up the Chargemaster modification, & the 3 straw setup here! Doh!

Have you upgraded the body to the area 419?

Holy ×#$% A $1000 ....I understand that it weighs to a 1000 of a grain but Holy Molly Batman ...Well I hope your guys's SD gets under 10 Love your videos keep them coming good luck with that holy number that you're looking for

Seems really great. But it's like Macgyver put it together out of spare parts. Being outside the states, I'm not 100% in being able to put faith in the product. By this, I mean replacement parts etc. I bet a far better version would be on it's way

What's the point of this if you do a proper ladder work up? .2gr either way shouldn't effect velocity.

It is 1/50th grain not 1/100 grain but plenty good enough.

Love hearing about all your gadgets but some of these are way too pricey. I'd rather have some more 1500's than one of these.

That's pretty awesome... But pricy!

Hmmm I d rather have three chargemaster at 279 a piece

Wow....Just too pricey for me.

OMFG. Why? charge is not the best place to drill down on the "variables" Consistent kneck tension is far more important

Or just get a promethius

It may be accurate, but looks like it was made in someones garage. I wonder who will be there to support it if there is an issue in 10 years....

Reliability is great however, this is ridiculous. Seen the "Prometheus" weighing scale? The most ridiculous powder scale on the planet....( In my opinion)... On YT, look it up.
