Thread: Powder throwers

I've been using a Hornady thrower for the past 25 years It works awesome it's all about being consistent in your actions.
It works perfectly with ball powder and Finner grained stick powder, if using slow burning big chunky stick powder like 2225 and RL 26 I usually under full and top it up with my 25 year old teaspoon.
When loading .223 etc I only use the thrower and check every 20 or so.

Me too - 2213sc gets caught up a bit, so I always throw a tad light into the pan of my scales and trickle up from there. I added a short section of nylon tube to the bottom of my thrower so the powder doesn't bounce out everywhere. Every so often I get an empty throw and the next one comes out as a double charge, so I'd never throw straight into the funnel.

I have had this exact same problem with my lee thrower using 2213sc and IMR4831. I must try your solution. I find I get the empty and then double charge when the hopper on top gets to about 2/5ths capacity. It sends powder everywhere lol.
