Question - Ingenuity Precision disk selection for spherical propellants & more.

[SD guy]

Considering going down the Ingenuity Precision path & was researching Metering disk compatibility. Some of the propellants that I utilize are not listed on current Compatibility list & I expect there may be some others.

Power pro 2000 MR may be the disk compatibility consideration on the top of my list.

Off the top of my head I noticed H4198 & IMR 4198 along with IMR 4895 had missed the list.

Was a bit surprised to see that a different disk was recommended for H4350 vs IMR 4350

That is because the whole idea is to have just a single kernel in the slot, so that slot and the size of the powder kernel has to match.

If the slot is too small, then much of the powder will be skipped and will sit in the hopper and the empty slots will cause delays. If the powder slot is too large, then there can be jams. For these to work smoothly, the slots and the powder kernel dimensions must be coordinated.

I gathered that & it just seems a few powders remain to be addressed yet. Rather than figuring this out by trial & error or extrapolation, I was hoping for a bit more insight from those who have put the system to use. I do not Recognize any Spherical powders on the list yet. I expect I may measure the powder dimensions & make some, hopefully good assessments as to what may work.

I may document the powder sized & make a comparison to see if other propellants are similar. Or I could reach out & see if anyone else may care to share their experiences with PP 2000 , IMR 4198 & H4198 & what disk were performing best for them. If it came down to it I could extrapolate & have someone w a precision laser make up some as the need arises I suppose.
Fabrication seems to be slow for the most part these days. Would not be too difficult currently, to get something fabricated, machined or laser cut from a sheet.

Here is what they are showing on the website. If I were you, I would send them an email and see what else they have learned since they published these.

I have reached out through there Contact form & am waiting on a response I suppose he is very busy with many other task. As of yet I am still waiting on a response. Look forward to a response when this may be addressed.

If I had an e mail address I would be happy to reach out Via e-mail as well.

Thank you for your input.

I would get it on the order list, it will take time. I have been using his trickler since it first came out with all types and sizes. Waiting on the new unit also.

Super, & yes I have put myself on the order list. I am also striving to learn about the operational parameters that allow this dispenser to thrive. The trickler system & the various disk that are utilized to accommodate various powder forms, are what I am looking to better understand. If I am not working with any of the larger, magnum powders how many disk would I need to get the dispenser to perform at its best.

Suppose my question is how many disk will a guy need If I work with various Ball, spherical & stick type powders & Trail Boss?

How many disk have you found a need for & how many various propellants do you find use for?

Have you heard back from Ingenuity Precision about discs for IMR4198 and H4198 yet?
Thanks.

 

[SD guy]

I looked back & I do not believe I have learned anything more than, what is listed on the chart above. Perhaps we could cross reference on granual size of a propellant already addressed. Suppose my initial question is how similar are Reloader 7 or n133 to H4198 or IMR 4198.

Please share your findings. Thank you!

I used the 7545 disc with great success with H4198. If he doesn't have the powder listed, it just means he hasn't tested that particular powder. Doesn't mean an existing disc won't work. Heck, I used the wrong disc for H4895 last night and it still worked pretty darn good. The only reason I discovered it was wrong is that it would occasionally drop 2 kernels instead of 1.
