Budget Scale/powder thrower Recommendations

[satchamo]

I’m getting back into reloading. Will be doing 22-250 and 243 for my hunting rifles. So we’re talking varget and h4350.

My typical process would be to run out and spend $500 on some sort of electronic thrower because it would save me x time but I’m trying to be reasonable this time so I’m thinking just running a manual thrower then trickling up to my weights BUT I’m open to ideas

Which leads me to my questions:

-what’s a good budget friendly ACCURATE scale option?
-what’s a good manual thrower? I have a cheapo Hornady right now so I’d like something I can dial in with a bit more accuracy.
-should I scrap all these ideas and just grab and rcbs chargemaster?

I have the AutoTrickler V4, RCBS matchmaster, chargemaster supreme, and the chargemaster link. All are good options. For the money the chargemaster link is a nice little thrower and scale. I use it quite often and if I had to do it all over again, I’d probably buy 5 links before I spent the money on the others I’ve listed. I would use 2 at a time if loading a large amount of rounds. It’s pretty consistent, it’s not really slower than the others and I’ve had good luck so far the last 2 years with it. I have a hard time getting the manual throwers accurate with the extruded stick powders like varget, h4350, h1000…a spherical powder does throw more consistent in manual options. I have a buddy with 3 FA intellidroppers and he’s happy with them, but I have no personal experience.
