Thread: Powder trickler advice

I think the best speed you can achieve with highest accuracy is my current setup. I use a std RCBS thrower to give a slightly light throw which goes straight onto a set of A&D FX-120i scales. These are the proper magnetic force restoration scales that plain don't drift. Their resolution is basically a single kernel of 2209 to give you an idea. I use a Dandy electric trickler to bring it up to weight. I'd say I'd average maybe 4secs of trickling per charge to get exact accuracy. With this system, you're never left guessing what the final accuracy will be.

I presume you are precision benchrest or xtreme long range shooting for that much fidling around.
I cross check my hornady auto load against my beam scale and they are spot on.
I beleive .1 of a grain out in standard amounts of powder is neither here nor there down to half moa accuracy any way.
Each to their own methods
