    I have a Combo 120. Can't really speak of the two you mentioned, but I like my Combo. I don't use it that much anymore after getting a Dillon 550. I mostly load in bulk, but there are some powders that don't meter well in drop type dispensers so the RCBS comes in handy for that. I do use it along with a single stage press when reloading hunting ammo. I always double check with a beam scale no matter what press I use.

    I just picked up a Supreme last week. Was getting tired of some of the inconsistencies I see with the Dillon drop. Will check back in after I use this weekend.

    Where they send me.
    I was thinking about the Chargemaster Lite as I'm a simple guy and wanted simple. Discontinued it seems. No interest in linking it to my phone but guess the Link is the next option.

    I will likely wait to see how the market shapes up a bit more.

    Amazon still has the lite. For 279. The link is 299.

    I like my Lite. always works and seldom ever throws an overcharge. The Lyman gen 6 I had before was a POS. kept wearing out seals. I should also add that I checked the lite with my .02 gr resolution scale and the Lite was always withing its .1 gr resolution and seldom over .08 gr

    I just picked up a Supreme last week. Was getting tired of some of the inconsistencies I see with the Dillon drop. Will check back in after I use this weekend.

    So here's my update. Yesterday I loaded 100 rounds (55gr fmj - .223 rem) with two different powders (IMR-4166 and CFE223) both around 25-27gr (slightly different recipes). I ran through the powder learn process with both powders and after tuned in, it was dropping both in under 10 seconds. Looking at the link versus supreme differences, the powder learn is the only thing that jumps out in my book.

    The only thing I encountered was a bit of static cling, more so on the CFE223 - and I'll need to do something about but nothing new there.

    All and all - I'm pleased with the Supreme but think the Link will work fine too. For me, if the Supreme saves me time drop over drop, that's good enough for me. I have a friend who owns the older lite (I believe) and he's happy with it.
