Made this the other day and thought maybe someone might be interested here. My RCBS Powder Trickler was too short to use with my digital scale setup. Needed a riser for it so I made this weighted one to make it stable as well.
Hope someone can use.

Weighted Powder Trickler Riser Base out of a hair spray top.
1) Find common aerosol can top of correct diameter and attach to powder trickler with
good tape. (Easy, I found many around the house that would have worked.)
2) Got two 4 oz. Pyramid Sinkers out of my tackle box. (Any lead item would work even
old bullets that won't be used or shotshell lead)
3) I glued the weights together so they would stay straight and most of the mass would
be as as low as possible.
4) Melt old candle wax in an empty soup can and fill the cap to encapsulate the weight.
5) Allow to cool for a couple of hours.
Worked like a champ. I now have a bottom heavy riser that is the perfect height to use with my scale.
Hope someone can use.
