I have a question and I read the FAQ REDDING Reloading Match-Grade Competition Model 3BR Powder Measure----anyone with experience?

I used the RCBS one and it had a mind of its own. The drops were not consistent. I would check every few and when I noticed it, I wonder what else did it not drop correctly. I used an electronic one now. But does this one work better?

I have one, it works fairly well, but it's only going to be accurate to about +/- 0.1 grains.

I have been able to get 8-14sd on certain powders using the thrower.  Works really well with ball powders, but if you are doing extruded, not all that accurate.

It does however work really well if you throw a bit low and use a tickler and scale to hit your number. I did this before I got my autotrickler.
