Powder tricklers and measures?

Recommended Posts

What do you guys like? I only single stage reload, so I’m not worried about cranking out progressive style amounts of rounds. Looking to go electronic without breaking the bank.

Charge master double checked by a beam balance either every load or every other.  So far my charge master has been really good.  Occasional over or under charge, but the scale always tells me.

If loading bulk like for 223 I just slam through the powder dropper.

If loading for "precession" rounds I use an electronic dropper then checked on a scale for every round. Pretty quick and good piece of mind. I use the frankford with zero issues. I don't shoot enough to rationalize spending more money. 

Only time I use a trickler is when doing load workup as each load is meticulously weighed.

It's a personal preference more than anything. RCBS Lite is good to +or-  .01 grains and a balance scale is slightly less depending on quality. A two poise balance scale is most accurate but most balance scales aren't accurate to less than .02 grains. I had my balance scale calibrated and accurized by Scott Parker and I was amazed at the accuracy after. For my competition rifles I drop load with RCBS Lite, weigh on my FX-120I, and trickle with Dandy powder trickler. That combo renders loads to +or- .001 grains.
