Scott Parker Tuned Lyman D5/ autotrickler

[estes640]

Currently I use a gempro with a manual trickler, but I am looking to get something a little more automated. I found a Scott Parker tuned Lyman d5 scale for a great price and was thinking about combining that with the dandy omega auto trickler. Two questions:

1. Is there any comparability issues with the auto trickler and any scales? Should I run into any issues?

2. I know the d5 scales were on the cheaper end, would this setup be equivalent/ better as a substitute for my gempro 250?

I use a RCBS 1010 beam no need for a trickler just use a bent straw.
FYI Lyman D 5 is a pretty good scale

I use the little dandy with a 1010 and it works great.
I recommend a magnifying app on a smart phone or tablet to look at the needle

The Lyman D5 is a simple two poise scale, it has fixed bearings rather the floating agate bearings like the RCBS range and rather mean knife edges, however a good tuned one usually works very well and I can confirm that it will be compatible with both the Omega and the Targetmaster auto-tricklers.

I have had a Scott 10-10 . and many other 10-10's
I have had a RCBS 304 the best ever wore it out No one would work on it.
I now have a Older RCBS (Ohaus) 5-10 with a Little Dandy and the Prism . It work great ….

I use my Dandy with my A@D EJ 123 scale also works will .
I check my 123 with my 5-10 never hearts ,

E Bay has some good old Ohaus made scales at good prices...
