Man mine is being really shitty with extruded powder. I have a fx120 but obviously a crappy dispenser, the one that came with a rock chucker kit. Worked fine til recently, the variation is stupid.
Any suggestions? Went all in on the scale but I don’t think I need the v4 auto as I would rather put my money elsewhere. Just need something relatively reliable and I don’t even mind trickling by hand. But throwing 20 gr. Difference is dumb

Man, I don't know what I'd do without my auto trickler v4. Saves me hours per batch I'd guess. It's the one thing about my setup (mid-tier quality components for everything) that I would not change. That said, I've heard the RCBS chargemasters work OK if you're not looking for accuracy to the nearest grain.

I think anything that isn’t an autotrickler is probably going to frustrate you beyond belief if you are testing charges from a different dispenser on a fx120. They aren’t going to be as accurate as the autotrickler will be.

That being said I’ve been happy with my old chargemaster 1500.

My 15 year old Chargemaster 1500 still gets the job done. I haven't tested it on as high grade of a scale as you have, so I'm not sure what it's true variance is, but it's good enough. I've loaded thousands of rounds of .308 for Palma matches with it that were capable of shooting high master scores and never felt like it let me down or held me back.
