Hey guys. Just an FYI if you haven't seen them, but I started making reducing inserts similar to what I've been making for the CM for years to reduce overthrows. Hit me up if you'd like try a set. I'll send a free set out to Aimsmall55 to try.

A picture of your product would be great. How about a video working in conjunction with Auto-Trickler?

Now that I've got more feedback on that, I get conflicting reports. Some like the large and some like the small for the extruded stuff. I guess it just depends on how you have yours set up. Lots of guys are using the 419 base with varying degrees of tilt. You get both diameters in the set, so you can try them both out and see what works best for your setup.You said more folks find the larger inner diameter insert works best for extruded H4350/ varget type powders? Or do I have that backward?

Well here's 28 shots for a seating depth test with your same variations with an SD of 5.3...once I picked my optimal seating depth and shot another 30rds SD dropped to 4.4...all with the same variations your seeing..
I've done extensive load testing and I have yet to see these .04 variations translate to anything remotely detrimental downrange in either SD's or accuracy... Shit those of us using CM for years with single digit SD's and tiny littke groups were having much larger variations than this .04...
Well I ordered the full kit this morning. Plus the 419 base and the new powder cup they are making. Spending this much on a scale is nuts but hey you only live once.

Can you post a pic for us? thanks!Had one of Adam's tricklers for quite a while now. Before he started offering his own bulk thrower, I built my own servo controlled automatic bulk dispenser from a Harrell's powder measure and worked with Adam to integrate my automatic measure and arduino controller with his trickler controller. Later, he started offering his own bulk thrower using the cheaper Lee measure to get a product out with a more reasonable price point than what I built.
Regarding measuring cups, I currently use stainless 3oz camping shot glasses from amazon... high enough to prevent powder splashes, easy to weight match via sanding (things go fast if you use 2 weight matched cups in rotation), but they may be too tall for how Adam uses the stock draft shield with his bulk thrower. I like PVA's undercut perimeter and center spike arrangement to deflect kernels into the undercut perimeter and prevent splashes. The Area 419 cup looks good too. Don't have much of a problem with splashes on my setup as the stainless glass is about 2" tall plus I can easily vary the speed that my Harrell's automatic powder measure dumps the bulk charge to prevent splash.
Regarding occasional overcharges... trickler finishing speed and trickler angle do play into it, but what I noticed is that many overthrows were caused by "bunching" of the powder kernels in the trickler tube and it dropping several kernels at once near the end of the ramp down leading to an overshoot of the target weight.
What I did to minimize this was to attach a piece of stiff wire to trickler, ran it above the trickler spout, and at the end bent it into a "U" and had the short leg of the "U" protrude into the trickler spout about 1/2". I bent the wire until so it's sitting slightly off the bottom (6 o'clock) position of the inside of the trickler tube. What the wire does is it hits and "breaks up" any multi-kernel piles in the trickler tube and knocks them down to single kernels riding in the grooves of the spout so it can more reliably dispense those last couple of kernels, 1 kernel at a time. Adding the wire to break up any bunched/clumped kernels significantly cut down the amount of overthrows and also made the trickler less sensitive to tilt and finishing speed.
Can you post a pic for us? thanks!
How long did it take you to receive it? I ordered mine a week ago.What if I bought mine three weeks ago? ?
Got mine yesterday, ordered on 2/13.
So after y'all have used them for a while is it worth the price tag? It looks like it would be but I'd like to know before ordering one
I purchased an ASTM class 2 weight for mine. Saved some money since I couldn’t find a used one like you did. The scale can’t resolve the difference between a class 1 and class 2 weight anyways.Some info for you all, since the scale doesn't come with a calibration weight you'll need to buy one (either 50gram or 100gram). I wanted a higher quality check weight so I bought a Troemner ASTM Class 1 50g weight off Ebay for a pretty reasonable price. It was surplus from a lab and came with serial number and hard case, They normally go for close to $100 but I was able to grab this one for $30.
ASTM Class 1 is better than the cheap $5 calibration weights you can buy. ASTM 1 is rated to be 50 grams plus or minus 0.00012g (or to put in another measurement, plus or minus the weight of 2.5 fingerprints). The cheap ones are OIML M2 rating which would be 50g plus or minus 0.01g.
I got the Troemner weight in the mail today and was able to calibrate my FX120i for the first time. FWIW, the calibration weight registered at 50.036 grams on the scale as it was set from the factory, so a bit high. Initially I had tested the FX120i using my home made check weights and noticed a difference from my prior scale by about 0.06 grains for charge weights in the 60 grain range. However, once I calibrated the FX120i it then matched perfectly with my prior check weights.
It was interesting to see that the prior results I had with my GemPro250 and the little cheap 20 gram calibration weight that came with it were pretty much spot on. The GemPro250 20 gram weight registers as 20.001 grams on the calibrated FX120i, pretty close. For weights in the realm of typical powder charges (25-60 grains) they match exactly. Very handy for me, since I can keep using all my prior load data exactly the same going forward with the new scale. Hopefully this is helpful info for you all who are transitioning from the GemPro and want to make sure load data is transferrable.
No comments yet on loading with the FX120i, other than to note that it hasn't drifted and has been given consistent weight measurements over several days. Hope to load with it here soon for the ELR match, now that I've got it calibrated. My expecation is not necessarily that the powder charges will be more accurate, just that I won't have to fight the scale drifting anymore. I've always had to watch the GemPro closely and rezero often.
Plastic cover that isn’t the windscreen? Mine has the four clear panels of which I didn’t install the front and a side for the trickler. Then the top that the thrower sits in.
What am I missing that y’all have?
