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.

I love mine. I also check mine with a set of regular scales and it is "right on". I know it is a little pricey but I don't think I would reload without them. Mapper is right they will fill the pan very quickly. And just in case it throws too much powder it will let you know. Sometimes stick powders such as IMR 4350 are hard to meter. You do get an occasional over-charge (the sticks seem to stay together) but the scales tell you and I just put the powder back in the hopper and start again. I have seen one similar I think made by Hornady that is cheaper but I don't have any experience with that one.

I have the rcbs and like fishtale said, I wouldn't reload without it. Your can borrow mine if you want to try before you buy.
