Figured I’d drop this off. Seems interesting and could be a solution for some.

Going to be EXPENSIVE! Reminds me of an AMPMATE.

Sorry, beat ya too it!

I'd like to see how the powder cup sits on the platen and properly zeros while being held by the mechanical device. The cup doesn't appear to be unclamped and sit freely.

Innovation is cool to see! I can see it now in less than 6 months with AF100 Gen 2. It’ll have a bullet seater with a tunable seating depth and strain gauge for seating pressure and recorded data that be used for sorting.

In the videos one can see the cup being stationary as the circular holder lifts - so the cup is not clamped.

In the video you can't see the scale screen so no way to see how close it is to zero each time the cup is placed on the scale. I'd need to see it move the cup on and off the scale multiple times while maintaining zero each time before I'd consider it.

Fair enough. Having said that, there are a bunch of videos and close inspection shows the cup is loose in the holder, which is the basic requirement.

Sure it's loose, but does it exert zero pressure on the cup? It seems it would be like touching the side of a powder cup with your finger while it's on the scale and expecting it to have no effect. I'm not saying it's impossible to achieve just a bit skeptical. I'd imagine there is a tapered area on the cup where the arm contacts it so when the cup is on the scale the arm lowers to the tapered area and isn't in contact with the cup at all. I'd just like to see that actually working.

Agreed. The proof is in the pudding.

Rube Goldberg is alive and will…
Kind of reminds me of my son’s Mouse Trap game…
I can only see this as useful to some sort of small commercial enterprise for loading bulk ammo… Would not trust it for match ammo…
Gas Gun guys should be a target market if they adhere to Spray & Pray…

Gas gun guys can use an old school powder thrower, no need for this. Most gas gun guys are loading on a progressive with a thrower. The target customers are going to the PRS crowd first and foremost and some F-Class shooters, then trickle down from there. People that feel their time is worth money to them. I think it's great if it works as shown. The determining factor to me would be price. I like to see the innovation.
