Powder tricklers?

[Lefty Trigger]

Who makes a good powder trickler that don't leak? I have been using a RCBS for quite some time and it has gotten a little sloppy so I replaced it with the new Lyman Brass Smith model and I like it real well but now it's leaking badly with Win 231.

Dandy trickler. But why do you want to trickle 231?

Was playing around making super accurate handgun loads to see if there is a difference in the way they print on paper. (It's raining)

I use the cheap red Hornady one.... It doesn't leak but is way to light in weight.... I poured some concrete in the base and that fixed it.... I guess it just depends on how much you want to spend on a trickler....

Used #8 shot mixed with epoxy on mine.

I use the Hornady Vibratory Trickler. For less than $40 it works like a champ! I added a wooden base to mine as my setup required a little extra height. Also, I added a small rubber bumper under the woodblock to give the trickler a slight angle. The slight angle produces a smoother continuous feed.

Take a look at the Frankford Arsenal. It's nice and heavy, trickles consistently, low $$. Best of the few I've used.

I agree, I have this and the RCBS and for the money I like the Frankford Arsenal and have never had a kernel leak. The o-ring that holds the tube in place does break after some time though and needs replaced occasionally.

Done this years ago. No difference. The one thing you can do to make the most accurate pistol loads is make all your cases the same length and use a taper crimp seating die set for a just a light crimp.

I made this one in H.S. shop class in '70. Solid brass with SS tube. It's a wonder I even graduated with guns on my mind 24/7. ......it doesn't leak.

D@mn good idea... I had a bag of concrete open in my shop and thought , why not.... I did use some very rough sand paper inside to make it stick , but if it ever comes loose I will use your method.....

+1 on the Frankford, it has worked well for me over the years. It's bottom heavy and stable, which I like as rather than turning it to trickle, I tap it hard or soft to get what I want down to a singe kernel with the help of the addition of the piece of straw.

I have a Redding and a Dandy; neither leak. The Dandy is in a class by itself. The Redding is well made but a bit on the small side in my opinion. If I were to look at another manual trickler, the CED one sold by Dillion would be the first one I'd investigate, though I've not used one personally. Looks nice on paper, though.

Double Alpha Academy makes a nice trickler

I like the Redding, like most Redding gear. It might leak H110, but I don't trickle fine ball powder. . .

Been eyeing this same trickler on Amazon, watched a few vids and it seems to work nicely...

I use the same redding trickler i bought in like 1995. Never felt a need to upgrade. I do really like the one bobm made above. Someday if im bored i may make one too i like that alot!

I still use the same RCBS that I bought about 40 years ago. I've never had a issue with it in all these years.
