School me on auto trickle systems

[Hengehold]

What are the best options for auto trickle powder dispensing systems today?

I have read a small amount about Ingenuity tricklers and V4 AutoTrickler. Are there any others?

I am interested in speed and accuracy is a close second.

To me you got them backwards, but the v3 and the ingenuity trickler is top dog in my eyes either way. I've had regular V3 a v4 and the v3 with ingenuity trickler. The v3 and ingenuity is the winner hands down.

Here’s a list of options I was able to find when I was shopping:

Autotrickler V4
Supertrickler
Open Trickler (plans and details on build are free. You need a 3d printer)
Printed Precision (I’m not sure if it’s available yet)
Ingenuity (release date in August but year is still unknown)

From what I’ve seen the Autotrickler with Ingenuity trickler is the fastest available right now. It’s around 2x faster than a factory Autotrickler V4. I bought the V4 and am happy with it. Most charges are dispensed in around 12-14 seconds. The ingenuity unit will be the fastest there is once it’s released. There will be a long backlog if you aren’t already on the waiting list.

This option still exists as well.

Printed Precision (I’m not sure if it’s available yet)

It's just becoming available.

Mine is dirt-simple to use, fast, etc. With stick powders. Not working, yet, with ball powders.

Thanks for the concise breakdown. Is the RCBS Matchmaster in the same league as the systems you listed?

It probably belongs on the list as well. It doesn’t get very good reviews compared to the Autotrickler or Supertrickler though.

I have been using an RCBS Matchmaster for some time now and would buy another in a second if this one disappeared. Have to admit I am spoiled by it's accuracy and 3 rpm " rounds per minute" loading. By the time I seat a bullet, the next load is ready and dropped to within .02 or to the kernal with Varget. Just powered it up for a few cartridges this morning. Whatta Hobby!

I have one, and it is good. But "same league" not quite, in the sense that I end up waiting on it vs. the PPTrickler is ready when I am.
Other than speed, it's fine. And it has the advantage in price and being a unitary thing rather than bits-and-pieces like some of the others.

From a previous thread....

The FX-120i is a magnetic force restoration balance. It will not drift like a strain gauge scale....a Chargemaster/matcaster is a strain gauge scale.... which are more prone to drift.

This is my setup, super fast.

Ive owned every iteration of the AT... I currently own 2x A&D Fx setups with the latest Ingenuity Precision draft shields, AT V3 throwers in IG mounts and IG Tricklers and IG electronics. Stupid crazy fast and accurate. Only part of IG setup not yet released is their Thrower/Dumper....

I do keep an AT V3 trickler and AT electronics sitting around for one of my setups for ball powders. The IG trickler doesnt play nice with ball powders.

I run a regular V3 with some 419 accessories.
25 or 95 grains in 10 seconds or less and accurate to a single grain of powder is difficult not to like.

Best reloading purchase I made.

I want a standalone screen, the only real downfall to the v3/v4 to me. The Printed Percision is tempting.

Mine is working flawlessly. About 23 seconds per drop. It fits my needs.

Ah yes… When price is no object or apparently the wait time for one of these beautifully custom made units!

No.

I was throwing 28.5gr of Varget. I measured each RCBS throw on a A&D 120i. With a tolerance of 28.3 to 28.7 it took 58 throws to load 30 rounds.

Some were as low as 27.9 and as high as 29.2

Wow I wouldn't be happy with that at all. My load is 41.9 gr of H4350. I loaded 50 today. I had 6 that I dumped at 41.96 or above when it clumped. The rest were 41.90 and 41.94

Another option is mine IF you manually dispense the main charge, have a Dandy trickler and an FX or TRX scale.
