There's a new fast / precision powder throw in town. The Printed Precision Trickler. printedprecision.com
Mine is working well with stick powders, which it is designed for.
With 38.5 gr of RL-15, average dispensing time is 8.4 seconds. Add maybe a second for the scale to settle. This is "fast enough", because faster would not help me (it takes longer to seat and wipe the HBn off the bullet).
Stats, from 30 throws (one overthrow was omitted):

- The simplicity of the thing is perfect. I have zero interest in fussing with fine-tuning settings.
- On start-up it it calibrated itself to the powder loaded in the bulk and trickle dispenser. You can re-calibrate it if desired. It learns with every throw and gets better in first 10-20 throws.
- The controls are simple.
- The lights are simplicity itself. Yellow is running, green is done, and red is overthrow.
- Putting the parts together was simple and fast.
- Fit and finish is good for a printed product.
- Removing the powder when one is finished is simple and certainly fast enough. Great design there. You just pickup the bulk dispenser and tilt it into a funnel in your powder jug. The powder flows out and you're done.
- The instructions for scale setup were correct.
- For fun I ran 100gr loads, took about 11 seconds dispensing time.
- The manufacturer is responsive to questions.
- The shot glass is a nice touch. After loading, one can rinse it out and enjoy some fine Scotch.
