A completely new way to use an AutoTrickler V3

[Lefty Trigger]

That is very cool! Kind of Rube Goldberg-esque

I was thinking Dr. Seuss Cat in the hat type of thing... Cool!

I love it. Now you need to automate the discharge from the funnel.
Love the setup a true Rube Goldberg machine.

You didn't have to handle a pan, but you did have to:
1.put a case in the press,
2.raise the ram,
3.plug the funnel,
4.remove the funnel plug,
5.lower the ram,
6.repeat

Other wise, you would:
1.place a pan on the scale,
2.pick up the charged pan
3.dump powder into funnel setting on a case while in a rack
4.move funnel to next case
5.repeat

You added all this complexity, with potential issues, for 1 additional step, and it's still not a Prometheus.
Are you a late generation Engineer by any chance?

Take the press out of your charging operation

LMAO, you still have to put the case in the press regardless, unless you plan to just sit back and marvel at the fact that you've got a block full of charged cases with no bullets in them. In terms of your breakdown of steps, that includes picking up the case, placing in the press, raising the ram, lowering the ram, removing the case which adds like, 900 steps to your process.

The press is the best place for a charging operation if you are looking to reduce steps/touches.

Keep the press in the process!

Now you know why the Gunderson cost as much as it did! There's a lot of development that eventually makes it look easy.
