Ordered just the the V3 AutoTrickler on July 8th and haven’t received shipping info. Anyone received shipping info that ordered around the 8th?
The 419 funnel will work on both the clear 419 top and the factory top with the new V3 powder drop.Is there not enough clearance between the new 3D printed powder funnel and the Area 419 cup/plate? I bought the 419 cup/plate for my V3 setup set to arrive mid august, but if the new funnel wont work I will have to order the 419 funnel.
Ok guys everyone loves pictures. Here you go, i mixed up my V2 and V3 to make a great setup. If you notice the pictures, the funnels on the V3 and 419 make a world of difference. The V3 with the powder insert is right up on the funnel. The 419 funnel is offset with room to drop powder, when I first got the V3 setup I was hearing a certain noise coming from the trickler. It was banging on the funnel of the V3 as it as spinning.
Enough said here is the pictures.

Is powder cup that comes with the full V3 kit a actual glass cup?Mine does not hit the funnel on full V3 but that is with Adams shot cup.
Thing is slick as hell
Nice!! Seeing pictures from Autotricklers site. That glass powder cup looks pretty sweet. Thanks.. I almost put in order for 2 419 aluminum cups. Now all I need to get is the clear lids from 419.yes. Pretty much a shot glass with the same basic handle, but thicker, as the last one
I ordered 2 complete V3 through DWS. Ask for John. Good service there. Plus anything goes wrong with the balance scales, they are certified techs for AnDWhat the hell. I tried to just buy the scale from CE and they said they don’t ship to California? Has anyone from California had one shipped to them? Being punished for where I live sucks
Has anyone with the V3 thrower upgrade tried flake and/or ball powder in the system to see how it throws or if there is any leaking or binding?
I thought I saw a post earlier referencing succesful use of 2000-MR, which is a ball powder, but no mention of flake yet. Only stuff I use is for 5.7x28, but it would be nice to not have to throw under weight with an RCBS manual thrower and trickle up.
The funnel fits like a charm, see my posts above.
To confirm, yes it works well with ball powder and no leaking. Haven't tried flake, since I don't load for "precision pistol" rounds that way. "Precision pistol" to me, is something that goes "bang" and is roughly the same velocity. I mean, 25yds doesn't really require that much precision ammo, and I can't hold a group beyond what factory pistol ammo delivers.
I think the biggest issue with flake powders is going to be the consistency of the density of how it fills the powder measure chamber. IME, flake powders tend to be very inconsistent (relatively speaking when compared to ball or cylindrical extruded powders) in how they fall or stack in an open chamber. They are (again IME) very sensitive to vibrations to the powder measure, which causes the flakes to settle at different densities, which then means the VMD (volumetric density) of the powder itself varies a lot in a measure if it is tapped or bumped in irregular patterns. One would think the automation of the V2/V3 powder thrower and trickler would resolve this, but I haven't tested it myself to confirm or deny that.
Come to think of it, you may need the thrower adjusted to thrower a lighter (than normal) initial charge, so that the trickler can account for the variation or disparate VMD's these type of powders exhibit from virbrational compacting.
LOVING my V3 setup! BT setup is AWESOME!!! So nice for load development!!! Couldnt be happier
I’m quite happy with the new V3 setup as well.
I’d like to see a button for a .01 bump for those (fairly frequent) times when a throw ends up a kernel or two short.
Ordered 2 complete V3 setups from DWS on the 17th. Just got confirmation it’s shipping out to me tomorrow..For those posting pictures of your newly received complete V3 units, would you please post when you placed your order?
That is good news. I ordered on June 4 so we should be celebrating about the same time, and by then I’ll have a couple hundred rounds to charge.Called CE yesterday for the full reloading set. I placed my order June 5 and mine will be fulfilled Aug 1 with approx. 2 weeks delivery time frame. So early to mid Aug is my slated delivery date, and in line with what they estimated back in June. He said scales are ready to ship, just waiting on the V3 items from Autotrickler.
Read the thread. We ready posted all that info
FYI...I ordered a second powder hopper from 419, and they're dimension-ally like the V3 Hoppers now, not like the V2 ones (fuck, just build a hopper stand for the original, tall and skinny one...looks like I"ll just have to make another one). I guess it makes sense, the pyrodex tube is probably the most expensive piece, and probably sold by linear feet/inches. Shorter/fatter probably means less cost.
