Anyone used the new Lyman Gen 5 Automatic Powder dispenser? I'm in the market to buy one. A friend of mine recommended the RCBS Chargemaster, and I've used his and it works great...but they are rather expensive. The Lyman Gen 5 unit looks like it does the same thing for quite a bit less money, and has a few other features I like.
I have heard that some of the older models have a long warmup period, and a few other drawbacks, but Lyman's marketing materials indicate they've resolved those issues in the new one...but I'd rather hear from the community whether it's a good buy, or if I should just keep saving for the Chargemaster. If nobody on here has used one, I guess I'll just have to be the guinea pig and post a review on here once I get a chance to use it!
