Default Hornady Quick Trickler

Just a question for the group. For months I have been looking for a Hornady Quick Trickler to speed up some of my pistol reloading duties. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to come up with one to at least try out and Hornady stopped making these several years ago. If you should by chance have one of these powder dispensers how does it work for you? If they were a flop I will stop looking for one. Thanks for any information on my question.

Rick H.

Default I have a RCBS....

I have a RCBS trickler. I think they are handy, but I've calibrated my fingers to pick up .1 to .2 grains of powder and haven't used it in a long time.

I tried out the Auto Charge Pro and returned it because it was a huge pile of junk. The trickler tube was threaded the same way the motor turns and it twisted itself apart within the first 100 charges. You’d think a company in the firearm industry would be aware of the concept of reverse threads on this kind of thing.

Certainly everyone's methods differ, but 99% of my pistol reloading does not require a trickler. Even with unique.

The knowledgeable and astute members here recommended a Redding powder thrower when I finally got tired of my old Lyman 55.

I have learned that with a really good powder thrower, the trickler, especially with pistol powders is unnecessary. When something is done right in the first place, there’s no need for correction.

No Trickler is very fast. I only used the one I have on rifle ammo with stick powders...Have to go look at the one I have to see who made it. Heck...it doesn't even have a name on it...it's just a yellow kinda funnel shaped thing on a steel base with a separate battery wired control box with 2 buttons.. one for high speed the other for slow
