No bounce cup?

I guess I am fortunate because I don't really have a huge issue with my Autotrickler V4 cup as long as it is placed correctly. If it is positioned so the powder hits the side of the cup, there is almost no kernels lost.

I can load 100 rounds and find only 1-2 kernels around the base of the scale.

I doubt that the 2 cases that were 1 kernel short will show up on target.
So you don't think then other 98 rounds are 2 kernels shy? There have been 2 kernels laying on the platen the whole time. This is throwing all of the cases off since they have been on the platen. It's more than just 2 cases that were effected. This is why powder bounce needs eliminated.

Maybe (playing Devils advocate) he noticed the scale reading .02 high and zeroed at that point.

I know when mine fails to return to Zero I got "pepper on the pan" :)
 
Thanks.
Give me a few days and I'll let you know how it works.
I was going to print some out and give an update. Looks like others have beat me to it and have done a better job than I could. 20241202_173937.jpg20241202_173955.jpg My issue is that I'm using the supertrickler with a wind screen insert. I wanted some extra cups to use with it. I bought some of the shot glasses used with the autotrickler and they are too high. So 3D printing seems to be the ticket due to my being able to modify it. I printed the cup from "thingiverse" and although I still need to make some modifications for use in the supertrickler (longer handle, height, and smaller bulbous area) I dropped powder into it from a drop tube at different heights. I detected no kernels bouncing out. I do like the design of the ebay cup also, but since I can print the "thingiverse" one relatively cheaply and make my own modifications I'm going to try that route.

That is why I reduced the diameter of my platen. See post 4.
