Shiloh Rifle Forums

I bought my RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 scale and dispenser for my ‘06, long before I even dreamed of owning a black powder cartridge rifle. By chance, I was looking through the manual and noted that they say “use with smokeless powder only! Do not use with black powder.” I’ve used it for loading my .45-70 cartridges ever since I started shooting BPTR.

Am I doing something that’s truly unsafe? Or is RCBS just practicing CYA?

Thanks!

If you copy the above and paste it into google....and do a search, you will find hours of reading on the Shiloh sight about the very question you just asked.

I have ran thru many cases of black powder with my rcbs charge master and many more before that in my Lyman dps1200 before it finally just quit
