Certainly, and if I'm going from 34 grains to 35 grains during load development, I would adjust the volumetric measure on the thrower. Or pour lots of powder into the trickler and wait longer and longer for it to bring the charge up if it works that way. On some throwers the trickler will start only when the powder weight is close to the final charge weight.
With the other throwers mentioned, one just changes the charge amount and the bulk thrower dispenses a bit more so the trickler has the same amount of work to do with each charge.
Read you little diatribe and decided to do a test.
All the info below is actual, absolutely NO cherry picking to make the numbers look better. When the two tests started I went with the actual results, so NO BS here.
EQUIPMENT:
V3 dropper, IP trickler with IP electronics package as sold by Paul (IP), A&D FX120i scale.
Initial drop set at 32.0 grains for both targets (34.0, 35.0 grains)
Powder was Varget
IP trickler was filled once at the beginning of both tests.
