Printed Precision Trickler

#4
First things first, no, not the creator, I don't sell em, I can't put you on a list for them, don't spam me bro! Just happy to help do some testing. I was convenient and had some of the big chunky powders they needed to test.

Here's 107gr of Retumbo, shows big charges, with chunky kernels, and the feed tube.


Here's 86gr of Retumbo, my standard 300 Norma load, showing the control box, status lights, autozero, and a bulk/trickle cycle.


Here's a more typical load for most people, 32gr of H4350. Shows several throws, single kernel dispensing, and even an over.


And one more, a slomo of the system in operation.



Here's what I think so far: It's pretty damn good. Still a few things they are working out, but so far they have been really cool about listening to feedback and making changes. Over the course of a few loading sessions of both 6 creed and 300 Norma, I'm sitting at about 94% successful throw at -0 +1kernel tolerance. Average time for a 6 creed throw at 39gr is about 8 seconds, 86gr 300 Norma throw is about 11 seconds.

Any sense of how well it will work with ball powders such as StaBALL 6.5?

Looks really good. Clever design.

It will likely be distributed through a major retail everyone knows about here. 😉

Ball powders are a work in progress.

The creator is here on SH and a PRS/ELR competitor.

How does it do with very small extruded powders like AR comp, N120, or N133?

I figured Paul's delay in getting the ingenuity system to the market might let a competitor slide in, and these test videos look promising. If this system ends up offering similar performance at a much lower price point they'll sell a ton of them... Provided the release date doesn't keep sliding to the right after multiple delays (cough, cough.)

Can you do a video and post it on how you empty the powder and also in the thrower is there a bigger tube that goes in it so it can fit more powder?

I can do that.

Basically you lift the Trickler and the thrower off the unit easily. They basically separate from the base with ease. It's very simple, which appears to be the theme of the Trickler.

No frills, fast, and consistent drops without any other extras.

Setup on the unit was 5 minutes. It took longer to figure out cord management with my OCD. 😂

I’m excited for the price point honestly

Don’t know if it has been talked about elsewhere. But I am anticipating less than half the cost of the new IP system

This printed precision system is honestly impressive. Of course the delta in cycle time vs the new IP system will be greater for larger bulk charges. But for most short action cartridges (for example I really only shoot PRS) it will be a difference of only 1-2 seconds

I impulse purchased an extra scale the other day. So I’m really curious what “the near future” means? Hopefully end of spring?

I don't want to give false timelines. I'll leave it up to the creator to post that. I'm simply a tester providing feedback.

So far, so good. Did 50 rounds last night and only one overthrow (0.06 gr).

I would like to know have you tried n570 that might be the one.

I am going to run N568 this weekend. I don’t use N570.

The PP disk is designed to fit kernels by diameter, so given the difference between the extrusion and cutting process between the two, N570 will likely work if N568 does. If not, I’ll be feeding that back and seeing what needs to be revised. But one of the other testers here seemed to have good results with Retumbo

How does it do with very small powder like BLC-2 or CFE 223? I have a gen 2/3 and the hornady drop hates that powder.

It's really mostly set up for extruded powders at the moment. Need to do some testing with ball powder, but there are some limitations with keeping it where it's supposed to be that are much more difficult.

Which is a shame, because I use StaBall 6.5 - but, at the cost of obsoleting about 7 lbs of it, I could switch. Wouldn't want to.
Bigger picture, lots of people use ball powders for precision shooting, although I think extruded powders are more common.

lol if you need some more testers I would use n565, h1000, n570, retumbo, h4831sc, 6.5stable, match stable have plenty of all of them on the shelf. Fx300in is on the mail
