Reloading Bench Tool – Powder Scale/Dispenser – Auto Charge Pro
Hornady’s Auto Charge Pro is an electronic powder scale and automatic powder dispenser built for reloaders who want faster, more repeatable charge weights without playing the tap-and-trickle game by hand. This unit dispenses and weighs powder in one footprint-saving setup, with adjustable trickle settings, a backlit touch screen, and memory for up to four custom loads.
If you’re loading rifle or pistol ammo and want cleaner charge-to-charge consistency with less bench clutter, this tool earns its keep. It is meant for careful handloaders who still verify their data and pay attention, not for sloppy shortcuts.
What it does
The Auto Charge Pro throws and weighs powder charges electronically, then trickles to the target weight. That speeds up load work compared to manual weighing and makes it easier to repeat the same charge settings across a session. Adjustable speed settings help tune dispensing behavior for different powder types, and the memory function helps when returning to known load data.
Why it’s worth it
This is the kind of bench tool that saves time without turning your loading process into a circus. The big value here is convenience with control: one unit, clear screen, simple powder-emptying knob, and enough adjustability to make it useful for serious load development as well as routine reloading work. We try to keep gear like this on hand because it solves a real problem without wasting money on fluff.

Install notes
Set the unit on a stable, level bench away from vibration, airflow, and fan wash. Calibrate it per the Hornady instructions before use, and keep the trickle tube clean if you want the machine to stay consistent instead of acting drunk halfway through a loading session.
Verify before you buy
This is a bench reloading tool, not a firearm-specific part. Verify your workspace, power setup, and intended use before purchase. Always confirm charge weights with safe reloading practices and published load data.
