Just just filled a hundred .357mag cases with H-110. It took me just less then 20 minutes. And to the hundred thousand instead of ten thousands accuracy.

wouldn't it be to the ten thousands compared to a hundred thousands? .01 vs .10 ?

Just just filled a hundred .357mag cases with H-110. It took me just less then 20 minutes. And to the hundred thousand instead of tenth's accuracy. This was my first time using after set-up and testing. (My first evening was spent setting it up and testing with the 6 different powders that I use.) I am impressed.

I did see the trickler unit begin to “walk” when it was operating. A little weight (ie: a box of XTP .44cal bullets) up against the forward leg of the trickler unit solved that.

It looks like I might just get the clear top and upgraded funnel unit. And also the billet base for the trickler unit too.

My wallet is cringing, I just bought the trickler base from Go Big.

I also marked the “O” and “X” on the hopper with a sharpie. My first tests ended with me forgetting I had left the valve open before I removed the hopper. Powder everywhere. I won’t make that mistake again.

Thanks for the support!

I’m thinking of replacing the flimsy plastic top on the scale with the Area419 clear lexan top. Will this work with the original hopper/auto throw housing? Or do I need to buy those too just to get the lexan top to work?

That is a great upgrade to the system, and nothing extra is required.

I run my V3 with the trickler only. I throw with a uniflow and trickle up with the auto trickler and it works fantastic. I also run both the trickler and the pan through the right side so the other three panels remain intact and in place.

I just ordered one of these units

Congrats! Now.....get your wallet used to Area419 stuff.

I’m hoping it will do the job as it’s sold. I’m not looking to upgrade it at all. Is this just an aluminum vs plastic thing, or is it lacking in certain areas?

I like the paintbrush idea to clear powder off/under the pan.

Does anyone else notice their powder throw barrel bolt rotate as the auto throw cycles? My bolt seems loose at any setting and can wind up throwing quite a different weight of initial charge than I set it at. Sometimes it turns clockwise then counter clockwise as the thrower cycles and it isn't an issue.

Mine’s not like that. The volume screw on mine is tight. It adjusts very close to what it should by the kind of crude way of metering by the threads on the shaft.

You say yours is loose? What, side to side “wobble”?

No side to side wobble but it turns very easily and as I mentioned, will turn when the thrower is in the up position.

I've found with different powders some are very close to the markings on the bolt for grains thrown. Does yours not have a flat edge of the bolt that's marked 1-2-3-4 indicating roughly 10-20-30-40 etc. ?
