Powder Trickler Recommendation?

[Stud Duck]

Looking for a manual powder trickler to use in conjunction with a Ohaus/RCBS 10-10. Looking for something tall, heavy and a long tube.

The Lyman trickler seems to check all the boxes. Any other recommendations?

If anyone has the Lyman or one that meets my criteria and you're willing to sell, please let me know.

Hard to beat a Dandy if you can find a 2 speed unit.

I just got a new RCBS. Adjustable base, and tube extension. It works pretty slick and it's cheap.

They're out there used, got one for $30.00 like new but I'd been looking for awhile and got lucky.

Started my reloading career with a RCBS. It was too light. Been using a Redding the past several years- it's quite heavy and does not move. I do have to have a 1/2" block under it to reach the pan on a 10-10.

I have the Redding and have used it for many years. But to be honest, anymore I mostly just use a spare lee scoop and tap it with my finger to dispense a grain or two, etc into the pan. I find it faster and just as accurate.

Yeah me too, but the weighted and adjustable base that comes with the rcbs now is pretty slick.

Decades back, a friend filled the base of his RCBS trickler with molten lead, but when he turned it over(after cooling) , it fell out . His answer was to cut a groove in the cavity so that the next effort would have a key to hold it in place. After he showed me the problem with his first effort, knowing that he had lots of lead, I asked him for the weight, and epoxied it into my trickler. It fit perfectly. The added weight made it a lot more stable.

filled the bottom of my rcbs with lead shot and epoxy after it cured glued it to a piece of 220 sand paper trimmed around it and it does not move

Have you looked at the Hornady trickler?

I looked at one yesterday. Very light, and short. I didn't care for it at all.

The RCBS Powder Trickler 2 has a weighted adjustable base and a tube extension. I used one for a while and thought it worked fine. The Franklin powder trickler is heavier and stable setting on the table. It does not come with a tube extension, though.

Reddings work very well. I use my fingers anymore- just a pinch

Probably that red color clashes with all the green toys, I mean tools.

That could be the issue! No, I like some of Hornady's stuff, and they're from my state, but some of their tools I've had over the years were not great. I do like their dies though and the powder measure I've had forever.
