Targetmaster Trickler?

[Maximumbob54]

Anyone have one or ever used one?

TARGETMASTER - An altogether better trickler

That is an impressive powder trickler.

You will have to move to the UK to get one. No shipo to USA

How can they have reloading stuff if they can't have guns? Guess they still have shotguns and rifles and rounded off no point knives.

Here, you need this one!

Groovy Baby!

they can have a few arms. after jumping through more hoops than we do for a full auto, while doing hand stands under a willow tree with exactly 18,374 leaves at exactly 12:02 :31 during a full moon while a wind blows exactly 12.2 MPH from precisely 93 degrees magnetic

I didn't see the no shipping. It just looked crazy fast and very precise. Unlike my Autocharge...

96 pounds, however that much is dollars but it says on their home page that only one to customer and shipped to adressses in the UK only.

Available here before too long I am sure. May work as well of better than shown but my question is if your not using a balance scale, then what?

Hi Guys - I have just joined this forum, I'm from the UK and yes - We have had virtually all our handguns taken - I was a keen pistol shooter before they were banned.

I'm also the inventer and maker of the Targetmaster trickler - I invented it many years ago (mid 1980's) particularly for my own use when I was needing to load a couple of hundred .32 S&W Longs with 1.6gns of Bullseye for my centrefire match pistol.
Previous to that my match pistol was a K38 Mod 14 (target).

So - If I can help anyone with more information just let me know.

The video makes it look very fast. I have the Hornady Autocharge and that last grain takes a while to drop into the scale. Yours just seems to go and then bing it's done. How is it working with the scale to do this?

And I guess the more obvious question, why no shipping to the US?

The best way to have a bit more insite into how they are used is to do a quick google for Targetmaster trickler. There are several video of them in use including videos from US users.

There are a great many serious reloaders who just do not trust digital scales - a good beam scale is a job to beat, they are accurate and reliable - they have no warm up time, they are not effected by strip lights etc.
When I invented the TM it was with pistol shooting in mind - remember this is a trickler, not a powder dispenser so running say 3.6 grains of Bullseye through the TM would take maybe 10 secs, just time enough to seat the previous bullet. To use the TM for rifle type charges, say 40 grains the routine would be to throw about 38ish grains with a measure or Lee dippers and trickle the rest, again just about a 10 sec cycle time, quicker than you can seat a bullet usually.

I don't advetise the TM for the US market really just because I can't make them fast enough - They are not mass produced in China - I make each one by hand in my own workshop.

Saying that, I know there are a fair few over your side of the pond.

looks like you've conjured up a nearly ideal machine.
I might have used a laser for the scale beam to break but thats picking nits.

Ill go on to say solve that UK only sales thing and show the mass produced hacks over here something to be afraid of

Thanks for the kind words - I'll just say "watch this space" I'm working on it.

(certainly miss the handguns though)

That only makes me want one even more!!!

I will be keeping an eye on this for sure....

will continue to watch and wait. Now if you could work it out to be able to use as a trickler only with digital scales.

 

[venomballistics]

if he pulled this off in the 80's its probably pretty oldschool analog design. Not to detract from the effort at all. Id prefer its inherent reliability.
to work with a digital scale, he'd need to design the scale to have access to its data stream
