    Powder Thrower - Which 1?

    Now I've got into reloading, I am doing a heap of bug busting 223 rounds.
    The manual way of weighing each case load is taking forever when I have 50 or more to load.
    So the next step on the ladder is a thrower.

    Which 1 would be recommended?

    Lee throwers are pretty good.

    Manual - pull the lever, load the case type.

    I'm not quite in the same league as Spanners with his fully automated system - yet

    I've got the Lee thrower also, came with the kit. At the start I didn't like it as it was all over the place. But someone suggested I put a couple of tubs through it before I start to measure loads. And that helped heaps, the powder was sticking up in it, from static energy I think? I find its within 0.1gn either way, so have set up just under the load weight and trickle up (I weigh every load with balance scales).

    As Normie says, SmartReloader is good gear.
