I thought I had done everything to idiot proof…
my ChargeMaster and then The old adage: You can do everything possible to idiot proof the transportation system, and they just come along and build a better idiot. came to mind…. And I proved to be an excellent example of a better grade of idiot this morning.
Signs, labels, more signs and more signs and perhaps if I were to figure a way to plant an electric dog training collar in the seat of my chair and trigger it off if I pour powder in the hopper w/o ensuring the drain is closed first it might get the message through my thick head. I even have signs telling me not to even bring powder to the bench until I have double checked that the drain on the ChargeMasters are closed. It’s been a couple years since the last godawful mess, and after beating myself up pretty good, cleaning up the mess and adding to the signage one would think. But, oh hell no. |

Been there
So….”Drain closed???” Written in permanent marker on top of the reservoir lids of both my Chargemasters fixed it for me. If that doesn’t stop me, I have more than loading on my mind and that’s a good indicator to come back when I can focus on nothing but loading.

No doubt.
I got to thinking about the last time and it was prior to my mother’s passing in 2019 when my loading shop was still in her basement. But still!! |

Fixed that issue that I was warned about when I got mine.
Set the whole thing in a big sheet pan. I do my operation a bit different than I see a lot of folks. I have a separate bench for powder. Nothing but charge master, a scale and powders measures. All my presses are on their own bench. Jiggling and wiggling from running single stage and progressive presses, I don’t see it doing any good to a scale or a powder measure. My progressives all jiggle enough to bump up charge weight a tenth or two after a few cycles. |

If you allow it to happen it will.

I permanently place a plastic butter dish at the outflow of my Chargemaster.
Now, about the newer. RCBS Matchmaster; the drain for it is underneath it. The whole unit must be picked up and the drain centered over whatever receptacle you are using. This is the dumbest design I have ever seen. I one million % prefer the side drain method of the ChargeMaster. Can you tell I hate my Matchmaster? |
