Autotrickler V2 vs V4

[Ilikepie7]

Hi all, I currently have a V2 with the V3 electronics and the Area 419 upgrades. I’m debating upgrading to the V4. The V2 has been fantastic except when loading Accurate 2200. It’s so fine it either leaks a little or binds on the throw. Is it worth upgrading to the V4 to solve my issue with Accurate 2200? Or keep the V2 and find a new powder for my 20VT?

I went from the v2 to the v4 and never looked back. Great product. IMO

V4 should work, but if speed isn’t an jssue, why don’t you just use the trickler part of the V2 setup to dispense the fine powder. I ended up doing something similar when I went from 3 to 4, I kept the v3 trickler to dispense fine pistol powder and hooked both v4 and v3 trickler up to the scale via a serial splitter box, but you also just manually unplug - I cannot remember if I did that because the v4 had difficulty with the fine powder, or difficulty dispensing less than 10 gr of fine powder, or if it was messy or if I was just lazy or bored.

What I’ve been doing is using my RCBS thrower to drop the bulk. Then I put it on the scale for the trickler to finish it. It works fine but it’s annoying when I’m loading 1800 20VT. The V2 works great for every other powder I use.
