Well it’s not a $350 automatic powder thrower but for throwing my 4grain charges for my 147grain 9mm loads this set up is pretty dang good. Once you get the hang of the auto trickler it goes pretty quick and easy!

I have an auto and hate it, spend more time messing with it than building bullets , it is now a high dollar trickle machine to top off volume drops for rifle rounds!! :cool:
Which auto thrower do you have? I’ve heard good things about the Hornady one, and great things about the RCBS Chargemaster but damnit they’re proud of it lol

Mine is the Hornady and we are on the status of I cuss it and flip rude gestures at it and it continues to piss me me off. On another note it is an awesome trickle charger LOL.

I use powders that measure consistently. I've went months and never touched my measure's adjustment. I do check multiple throws at the start and during each session. For rifle? That can be a different animal altogether with stick powders, but I totally agree with Gunbuffer that pistol calibers don't need that kind of attention once you have your load established.

The trickler will have multiple uses but this load was very specificly loaded to be extremely quiet in a suppressed 9mm so I wanted to be very precise so that I didn’t under load resulting in squibs, but kept it in the sweet spot for ‘Hollywood Quiet’

Y'all are sophisticated.
Back when I reloaded handgun ammo for plinking all I had was a set of Lee dippers.
(That reminds me, I've been meaning to get back into making some light loads.)
Anyway good luck with your reloading. :thumbup3:
I reloaded for years without a scale. I used Lee dippers, and the load sheet that came with the Lee dies.
No scale, no tumbler, no mentor and no internet.

No problems.
