Dandy powder trickler

[wboggs]

Has anyone used this and your impression of it. For low volumn, maybe 50-100 at a time

I’m a big fan of dandy trickler , they work well for beam scales or electric scales.

The trickler tube on the Dandy is not round its more V shaped. The kernels line up end on end. 1 at a time.

^^^^^^ Both previous comments.

I love mine. Its both added speed and accuracy to my process.

I have a Dandy Trickler that I use with an FX 120i scale. I think it works great compared to the 3 or 4 manual tricklers that I’ve used.

Maybe they redesigned it. Mine is round. Think I’d prefer a ‘V’.

Mine works great. The 2 speeds were well thought out. The height is easily adjusted. I use mine over a beam scale run through a laptop with a webcam looking at the pointer, throwing the initial charge out of one of my throwers ( I kind of "collect" those )..........ANYWAY..........Easy to use & very precise.

My exact setup. Wish I had done it sooner.

Bill,
I love mine, I have three of them! 2 of them are the std 2 speed the third is setup up for a beam scale to automatically shut off when you Rach your weight, I haven’t ever used it but someday I’ll set it up. One I have setup up on my GD503 for competition rounds the other is on a chargemaster for most hunting and goofing off rounds. Someday I’ll buy a ingenuity and be done with them maybe.

The Dandy is one of my better reloading equipment purchases. (I liked it enough that I ended buying one for my son too.)

I also have one of those with the electric eye that works with a beam scale. It took a little practice to set up and use, but I could get pretty consistent if I was loading a bunch of the same load. It wasn’t worth messing with if I was doing a load work up because once I got it running consistently, it is time to change the load.

he did. he sent me the new one for $10 works great. lines them up in a row, drops one at a time. with a fx120i, i can do 50 rounds in about 30 minutes. dropping from a redding br3 first.

Like others above, I'm very happy with mine. Different powders; ball, extruded, flake etc. take a different setting on the weight. Moving the weight changes the rate at which the trickler dispenses powder. A buddy said that the newer ones with replaceable hoppers may leak with fine ball powders. Admittedly, this is anecdotal. I have no such issue with mine since it's an older one with a one piece hopper. I will say that it sure beats twiddling the stem of a manual trickler. I waited too long to buy the Dandy Trickler.

Really like it. When I started loading 17 Hornet, I had to upgrade my powder measuring equipment. Now I use a RCBS Chargemaster and throw to .1 grain lower, and then move to A&D scale, trickle up to .005 accuracy with the Dandy Trickler. Excellent for accuracy on a budget.

i checked the price .not giving them away

 

[misser]

I went a different way. It works for me.used the rcbs trick for 50 years

Did you expect them to give you one ?

I’ve had mine for about five years, it does a great job with zero issues, has a long stem and adjustable height and flow , large reserve and two speeds at a very reasonable price.
What’s not to like ?
