Loading Data - RCBS CHARGEMASTER LITE Instructions

PRIMERS AND POWDER
• Store powder beyond the reach of children and away from heat, dampness, open flames
and electrical equipment. Avoid areas where static electricity is evident.
• DO NOT have more than one can of powder on the bench at one time. Powder cans
should be stored away from the bench to avoid picking up the wrong one.
• DO NOT use any powder unless its identity is positively known. The only positive
identification is the manufacturer's label on the original canister. Discard all mixed
powders and those of uncertain identity.
• DO NOT store powder in the unit after a reloading session. Over time the powder will
corrode the powder hopper.

LOADING DATA

WARNING! DO NOT SMOKE WHILE RELOADING.
• OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS ABOUT THE USE OF MAXIMUM LISTED LOADS.
• Use only laboratory tested reloading data. We recommend the SPEER Reloading Manual.
WARNING!
This digital scale is for use with smokeless powders only. DO NOT USE WITH BLACK POWDER
(used in muzzle loading firearms). If black powder should come in contact with an electrical
spark, an explosion may occur, resulting in serious injury or death.
CALIBRATION
Calibration should be performed before every use. Prior to calibration, scale should be
turned on and allowed to warm up for at least 15-20 minutes. If using battery as power
source, place both 50 gram calibration weights onto platen, this will bypass the auto shutoff
of 3 minutes and allow the scale to complete the 15-20 minute warm up period. The warm
up process should be performed prior to every use if scale has been off for more than 30
minutes. Calibration is performed WITHOUT scale pan on the platen. To calibrate correctly,
follow the CALIBRATION section of this instruction manual. A scale with improper calibration
will cause an incorrect charge weight which may exceed the maximum recommended load.
Re-check frequently during use with the calibration weights provided. If accuracy is found to
be out of tolerance, the scale must be recalibrated.
PRECAUTIONS
Digital scales are very reliable devices. However, here are some events which may result in an
inaccurate reading:
• Change in temperature. If the temperature changes more than a few degrees, you must
re-calibrate the scale. Allow scale to stabilize for 20-30 minutes prior to use.
• Changes in scale location or a non-level working surface.
• Off center placement of weights on the platen.
• Jarring of the scale during operation.
• Use only the two calibration weights supplied for accuracy.
• Weight accuracy is crucial. Keep weights clean and carefully stored. If dropped or
damaged, have weights inspected against known standards. Contact RCBS Customer
Service.
