I think the Area419 Powder Scoop is awesome looking

But, I cannot really afford spending $65 on a scoop right now SO, I took a different approach.
Really needed a longer scoop so, I could reach into scale easier and one that prevented less powder splash when dropping and trickling.
WalMart sells measuring scoops for a set at $2.
So, the problem was it wouldnt stand up on its on the cup so, I had/wanted to modify it.
A few holes to lighten it and a few hits with a file got it to where I wanted.
Next was getting it to a even weight. I settled on 190grains (scale wasnt warmed up)
Worked out pretty good for $2.

Yea, I like the FX120i and Trickler. I might one day go to the Adams Auto Trickler but, this in itself works wonders.

Our washing machine powder comes with lightweight plastic scoops for nothing.

I am very impressed by area 419’s powder funnel kit. Im sure that scoop is like jewelry. This is exactly why they make rolex and timex watches. Some folks love to have nice things and some dont care about the looks and take basic functionality.

Turns out my wife had a couple of partial measuring cup sets. She said the half cup is like my half inch open end wrenches - never can find one, or never have enough of them.

Anyhow, the 2/3 cup looks like a good candidate and I'm gonna give it atry under the AutoThrower.

OP: thanks for the prodding.

I have a few Area 419 products. Very pleased. Top notch machining.

As far as funnels go, I prefer the RCBS pan with the funnel built into the side. Sooooo much quicker and easier.

Btw, I choose to use a 1/4 cup scoop if that helps you any. A 2/3 cup scoop would be a pretty big scoop.

You may be able to take a hot screwdriver and make a small spout on one side so it pours easier. Just hot enough that the plastic deforms, not melts.

Yes, very good idea.
