Hornady trickler - ended up mounting that trickler on a hockey puck for more base weight and height (rural Canadian - eh!!), and then ran a tap - maybe 1/4" or 5/16" NC (?) to create threads on inside of the pipe, like I recall that the RCBS one had. It now lets me dribble out one kernel at a time, like that old RCBS one would.

That's interesting.. I've done same kind of thing, added a "puck" of 3/4 plywood and aluminum to the bottom of my Hornady trickler for height and weight.

I didn't realize the RCBS trickler had a threaded spout, though.

Doesnt the RCBS kit include an electronic scale, primer and trickler? Am I missing something? Regarding primers, getting your mitts on any large rifle primers will be an accomplishment. You should hit up Potashminer with beverages for a few hundred.

I want to go with a beam scale. More accurate.

I don't know. I'd have to ask potashminer :)

I bought the partner apprentice kit. I think the more expensive ones do contain everything. The money I saved buying it used, will go towards other tools.

I'm having great success/results with the GemPro 300 digital scale. Balance scales are accurate, especially the RCBS 5-0-5/10-10 and the vintage Lyman Ohaus M5. I remain vigilant by always viewing the scale, that there is no drifting with numbers. I observe the numbers whenever the powder pan is removed from the scale, and visa-versa. Out of three digital scales I purchased, the GemPro is by-far the best!

Ok! I could get a digital scale to try, and a balance scale. Compare the 2 and see how the digital one is.
