What powder pan for auto trickler?

What powder pan is everyone using for Adams auto trickler? The pictures look like a rcbs pan, but they are out of stock everywhere. Are their any others that fit in the plastic holder? My Hornady pan sits on the top and slides around too easy.
Thanks for the help
 
Area 419 and Patriot Valley Arms both offer nice aluminum options for this scale. Similar looking in fact, both would be nice upgrade I suspect.
 
I have just been using the powder pan from my old RCBS 10-10 scale with my Autotrickler. Works fine and never been an issue.
 
1/4 plastic handled measuring cup and/or my brass Lyman powder pan from an older beam scale. I also got the included measure cup with the auto powder dispenser to work after a few straw bends and trial and error. The pan setup needs work IMO.
 
Here's what I use. I put it on the pan and when the scale zeros out and immediately after the auto- trickler starts running, I pour in a measure of powder from a Lee dipper; a larger one for my 6.5 Creedmoor and a smaller one for my .223.

When the auto-trickler finishes I use this funnel to put the powder directly into the brass which then gets pit into a loading block. At the end of the batch, I inspect the fill level with a flashlight, place a bullet into the neck of all the cases, and then seat them with my Wilson die and arbor press. Then into the range ammo box. Works good.

Shot-sized red solo cups at Wally World or the clear see-through pill cup I picked up at the nursing home. They're both about the same size. Taller than the RCBS. Very little spillage.

I,m sorry,but red solo cups are not made for reloading
