Overall, unit works well -- especially the trickler. And, the stand if very solid. My only complaint is that, due to the length of the drop tube, some powder typically splashes out of the pan of the scale. There's a spout on the end of the drop tube, and the tube and spout can be rotated different ways, but regardless of how I position it, I still end up with a few kernels of powder on the bench with each throw. I end up holding the pan up to the bottom of the tube with one hand, operating the measure with the other, and then placing the pan on the scale. A scale pan with more sharply sloping shoulders might solve the problem, which would allow you to throw the charge with the pan on the scale and without any waste.

Used the powder trickler ...

Used the powder trickler system on several different occasions. Easy to set up, but did not really help in speeding up the reloading process with an electronic scale. Cannot dump directly from the powder measure to a pan resting on an electronic or beam scale - the powder will splash out because of the speed of the powder. Adjusted the chute so the angle was considerably less, but could not find the spot that would not splash powder out of the pan. Trickler system is back in the box on the shelf, unfortunately.

After reading all the ...

By Arthur

from Marysville, WA

After reading all the negative reviews I went ahead and bought it anyway. Yes, it's got some problems. The 'trickler' tube was stiff and didn't turn freely. After removing it, taking off the burrs, and reassembling with some graphite it works great. As for the powder splash, I just cut the bottom off a soda can, washed it out and dried it well. The taller sides of the improvised powder pan keep the splash contained. A small cutout for the drop spout and a pinched "pouring lip" on the opposite side make it very useful. Some J-B Weld and a bent piece of heavy gauge wire makes for a useful handle. With this setup, along with my Dillon D-Terminator Scale, I can actually drop weighed loads faster than with my Chargemaster. The Chargemaster does have the advantage of operating automatically while I'm seating a bullet and measuring the finished round but this setup works great for my "experimental" rounds while the chargemaster does the duty for all my volume precision loads. Could RCBS have done better? Yes, but then it would cost far more. I didn't mind doing the finish work. It just took a little imagination and patience.Now if someone would just make a powder pan with splash guard walls.

By Scott

from Stockton, Ca

I was really wanting this to work. This is poorly Designed and cheaply made. It is hard to keep it still it so you aren't hitting the scale. When the powder hits the scale pan powder bounces out of pan. If you adjust it down to where power doesn't fly all over the place you can't get the pan out from under the tube. If I could I would give it a negative star count.

By Lanty

from Highland, UT

I could see the powder splash problem coming when I saw the unit. Someone on a forum used a small medicine bottle in place of the scale pan, with an electronic scale, and said it worked OK. He wiped it out with a dryer sheet to eliminate the static problem.

This is poorly made. It is hard to adjust it so you aren't hitting the scale. When the powder hits the scale pan powder bounces out of pan. If you adjust it down to where power doesn't fly all over the place you can't get the pan out from under the tube. The only reason I gave it one star was there isn't a (0) star.

By Konrad

from Mount Vernon, OH

I resolved the powder bounce two ways: 1. Added rubber hose to end of spout to slow the granule speed. 2. Added a paper insert into the powder scale pan to act as a damper for the falling granules (must rezero the scale with this modified pan).

By Rick

from Saint Johnsbury, VT

As others stated, the powder comes down the tube so fast, no matter what angle and position you place the adjustable tube and elbow at the bottom of the tube, powder ends up splashing out of the RCBS scale pan. In all my years of reloading, I have NEVER spilled as much powder as I have just filling ten rifle cartridges! The only thing I did not try and will try next is holding the pan up in contact with the spout, dump the powder load, then slowly lower the pan onto the scale as someone else mentioned. I have never had a problem with any other RCBS product.

By tim

from two, tn

I really wanted to like this product--something that could offer the speed of an electronic dispenser but in a smaller footprint and for little cost. But, as the other reviews say, such gains in speed are not to be had, and regardless of the powder type (ie extruded, ball, flake, et al) the unit is designed such that it will splatter a few grains out of the pan every time the handle is pulled. (In response to the first review: even if one of the newer integrated funnel type pans are used with the high backside, powder will still splatter). Added to this, the trickler is equally difficult to cleanly empty as there are no provisions to drain the powder from the reservoir. Overall this is a savagely under-engineered unit; however it does come with a very nice stand that can be utilized for the inevitable time when you switch back to the reliable trickler.

By Dave

from Sandwich, MA

As someone mentioned, I really wanted to like this trickler as well but found it to be cumbersome and messy. It is not a time saver and has been returned. I called RCBS about the messiness of it and they said that it was the first complaint they'd heard. Hmmmmm. It's the first disappointment I've had from any RCBS product.
