The Hornady Auto Charge Pro (item #050053) is an automatic powder scale and dispenser built for reloaders who want repeatable charges without trickling each load by hand. It measures and dispenses powder accurate to within 0.1 grain, then displays the result on a backlit touch screen that stays readable under bench lighting. Bench loaders working precision rifle cartridges or high-volume handgun rounds get consistent throws on every pull. The unit pairs naturally with a quality set of calipers and measuring tools and the rest of a complete reloading setup, and it takes up less bench space than competing dispensers in its class.
Accuracy comes from the combination of an integrated scale and a motorized trickler that slows as the charge approaches target weight. The Auto Charge Pro offers customizable trickle speeds tuned for different powder types, from fine ball powders to coarse extruded sticks, plus custom time settings to dial in throughput. You can store settings for up to four custom loads or run the factory default, which speeds up switching between recipes during a loading session. A built-in bubble level keeps the scale platform true for repeatable readings, and a large knob on the side of the housing makes emptying the powder hopper quick when you change powders. The backlit touch screen handles all programming and load selection, and the large hopper capacity reduces refills during long runs.
Reach for the Auto Charge Pro when you want metered charges weighed to 0.1 grain rather than relying on a volumetric throw alone. It suits precision rifle handloaders chasing tight extreme spread numbers and anyone loading match ammunition where charge consistency drives results downrange. Position it next to your press and a powder trickler for fine manual adjustments, and keep it stocked with the right shellholders and dies for your cartridge.

The Auto Charge Pro dispenses powder charges accurate to within 0.1 grain, per Hornady specifications. The motorized trickler slows as the charge nears target weight, which helps prevent overthrows and produces the consistent charges that matter for precision rifle and match handloads.
It stores settings for up to four custom loads, plus a factory default setting. This lets you switch between different powders and recipes during a single loading session without reprogramming the unit each time.
Yes. The Auto Charge Pro offers customizable trickle speeds tuned for various powder types, from fine ball powders to coarse extruded grains, along with custom time settings. Matching trickle speed to your powder improves throughput and keeps charge weights consistent.
It includes a built-in bubble level so you can set the scale platform true on your bench. A level surface keeps readings repeatable, which is part of holding that 0.1-grain accuracy across a long loading run.
A large knob on the side of the housing simplifies emptying the hopper, so you can swap powders quickly without disassembling the unit. The large hopper capacity also reduces how often you refill during high-volume sessions.
