    I have mainly used mine for stick powders, and yes it is consistient. And almost as fast as I can put the powder in the case, put the pan on the dispenser, and seat a bullet the next charge is ready..(24 gr varget, 42 gr 4064)

    A simple mod for not throwing many overcharges is to take a small piece of a large diameter straw and put in the exit tube, this keeps the kernels of powder from clumping up and dropping at once. A whataburger straw works great, you only need a piece about an inch long..

    A pair of scale pans would be great.

    I know they are more coin than some other colors, but I think the rebate helps even that out 50$ off 300$,

    there is some info on changing the programming on them to speed them up, but a lot of that depends on how much powder weight is dispensed, before it goes from fast to slow to trickle..

    I haven't tried it for ball powders, or powders that meter well in my powder measures, or small volumes.
    But it is a lot better than throwing a charge a little low and trickling each one up in a scale pan.

    One of these, a power trimmer, and a 5 position motorized case prep tool, make the tedious aspects enjoyable.
