Powder Cup – Chargemaster 1500

$65.00

*NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CHARGEMASTER LITE OR MATCHMASTER* 

After releasing our Autotrickler based Billet Powder Cup, we got a lot of requests for a replacement RCBS Chargemaster pan and saw some room for improvement.

Introducing, the Area 419 Billet Chargemaster Powder Cup system. This system includes a replacement load cell tray turned from 6061-T6 aluminum, as well as the long handled cup as well.  We designed the tray to sit much lower on the scale so we could make the cup as tall as possible without interfering with the spout.  The tray/cup have a tapered interface so that the cup always sits in the exact same location.  The bottom of the cup is also dished so that if you get one or two kernels on the tray, it wont affect how the cup sits.

Cup is roughly 2″ in diameter and 1″ tall. The handle sticks out about 3″.  Weight is roughly 700 grains for the cup, this does not reduce the capacity of the scale though, as you can still put 1500 grains in it…if it would fit, you can physically fit around 400 grains of Retumbo in it for reference.

    Just purchased the Area 419 Powder cup for my RCBS Chargemaster 1500. Wow. This works very very well. I’ve used a carbon made cup which was ok, but nothing like this powder cup. The load cell tray fits perfect and does lower the cup. What’s really nice is the tray/cup interface guarantees the cup is centered. Very nice product. Definitely faster reloads with this system.

  2. Anthony Kuchynka –

    Fantastic upgrade. Centers perfectly every time, no static cling, looks fantastic, and captures all of the powder dispensed.

  3. Rick C. (verified owner) –

    Works great! Could be a little short to not interfere with the feeder tube.

  4. Gary Vanlier (verified owner) –

    To some cost may be considered high, but this is not plastic and stamped tin!

  5. Stephan Demirjian (verified owner) –

    Nicely made.

  6. James M. (verified owner) –

    Very well made, helps with splash, and honestly just looks cool!

  7. ADAM LE (verified owner) –

    very nicely machined and high quality.

  8. william Hildebrandt (verified owner) –

    Missing washer for load sensor

    • Craig Arnzen (store manager) –

      We eliminated this years ago once the problem was found. We haven’t shipped one with a Chargemaster cup since probably 2018.

  9. Mike C. (verified owner) –

    The cup is much easier to manage and the self centering base makes it a breeze to return to “go”.

  10. Ryan De Vries (verified owner) –

    Amazing Quality and ergonomics. Fits my big hands well.

  11. Sebastian F. (verified owner) –

    This and the platen are a great addition to my chargemaster.

  12. Kirk (verified owner) –

    So, this seems like a frivolous purchase at first, but it actually makes it easier to use my chargemaster. The long handle makes it so easy to remove the cup without hitting the discharge tube. The heavy weight of it softens the shakes, after a few too many cups of coffee. The platen is nice, as well.

  13. MARK ITZSTEIN (verified owner) –

    Lots easier to use than factory pans.

  14. Ralph E P. (verified owner) –

    Worked like a charm

    Great solution for me, much better feel and set up than the standard RCBS MatchMaster plate and powder cup.

  20. Eric C. (verified owner) –

    Beautiful addition to my reloading bench, works great with my RCBS Matchmaster. It’s a privilege to use.

  21. Steve M. (verified owner) –

    This probably isn’t necessary but, it sure works very well and makes it easier to throw charges.

  22. Arthur Morgan (verified owner) –

    Awesome product.

  26. Ryan Lopez (verified owner) –

    Works Great with my RCBS Matchmaster. Had a little static at first but applied some imperial dry neck lube to it with a Q-tip and powder doesn’t stick to it anymore.

    The cup fit the holder perfectly. Unfortunately the holder does not fit my Chargemaster link which I thought it should.

  35. Henry A. Lana (verified owner) –

    This looks really great no chance to use it yet

  36. Travis (verified owner) –

    Haven’t got to use the gear yet but the fit and finish is awesome.

  37. Joseph Julian (verified owner) –

    Well made. Haven’t used it yet, I’m away from home, but looks to be a vast improvement over factory.

  38. John G. (verified owner) –

    Yes their stuff is expensive, but if you’re tired of the Chinese crap that the picture is always better than the product, buy 419 stuff.
    I love supporting American made and getting what I pay for. As my Dad said, “If you buy it right the first time, you only complain once.”

  39. Michael C. (verified owner) –

    Very nice product with great fit and finish.

  40. Sam Prater (verified owner) –

    Great upgrade

  41. Carl V. –

    This is a great upgrade for the RCBS Chargemaster 1500. Like others have said, the included load cell tray fits perfectly and the cup centers nicely on top of it every time with barely any thought. The cup’s handle makes it was easier to grab and manipulate it. The only thing you have to cognizant of is removing the cup from the load cell tray so you don’t accidentally contact the dispensing tube and knock a few extra grains into the cup.

  42. Eric G. (verified owner) –

    I’ve only used it to measure out some H335 for 223 load development so far, but I really like what I’m seeing so far. The quality is definitely top-notch. I expect that this should reduce my drift issues with the extruded powders I usually run in my Chargemasters pretty significantly.

  43. Wayne Conelly (verified owner) –

    Wow really nice

  44. Dennis Perry (verified owner) –

    A very nice update to my ChargeMaster 1500..

    Moch better than the flimsy pans that come with auto powder dispenser.

  46. Jeff Creller (verified owner) –

    Love the cup, handle makes it so much easier than the factory RCBS cup. Plus it looks cool as hell…

  47. Don Maramag (verified owner) –

    Great complement

  49. marc b. (verified owner) –
