I’m thinking of the blue one, detent ball. There’s probably not even a spring in there, IDK WTF I’m talking about lol.
Nope, no spring is standard, but I know some guys add one to make it more clicky.

Adding springs? Can you elaborate on this and the thinking behind it ect. I'm curious about it now

That's cool man, I haven't seen that but I've wondered about it . Thank you sirSure - if you pop out that blue screw that holds in the detent ball, you can add a small spring on top then reinstall the screw. Gives it a little more pressure and more definitive 'clicks' when you spin the wheel.
Here's a video.
Or you can wait and get the new electronics from me in a few months if you can wait.Thank you
@Kfive73 I would recommend this route, if you can wait.Or you can wait and get the new electronics from me in a few months if you can wait.

I haver many dealers abroad. UK, Sweden, Spain in that area.@Ingenuity1 any plans to have a European distributor maybe? I know lots of guys who would certainly be quite interested in the trickler. Heck, after watching those videos I am inclined to sell my Super Trickler for this beast.
I have a question about the thrower. How is it adjusted? Mechanical adjustment? Electronic? Not looking for secrets, just curious. Everyone on this site has probably used powder throwers of the same basic design. This is a very interesting departure.
Yes basically controlling gravity flow with electronic valveHe says in some of the videos that it is electronically controlled. It opens for a specific amount of time and then shuts.
You mean like this!
I agreeWould you please sell this now?!

I am planning on having a new cup available that doesn't splash kernels out and holds a bit more for the larger charges. I'll leave self aligning features on the platen up to you as its not necessary.@Ingenuity1 do you know yet what you are planning to do for a cup and a way to keep it lined up in your system? Or are you going to leave that for each person to decide on individually?
It really depends on your needs and preference. All three brands I have shown will produce charges of equal accuracy to a single kernel of most powders. The major difference is how fast they react and can produce charges with the system. Their is also the factor of how precise you would like the weight value to be presented out of the scale. I call this the "Anal" factor LOL and fully understand that shooting and reloading has a lot of mental influence which is why I say its a personal preference as to which one fits you.@Ingenuity1 I've seen your videos, and seems you have several different scales on hand. If a guy was starting from scratch and planning to use your system, which scale would you recommend?
Seeing as you have all 3 of these scales. Are there any other factors that you've noticed with these scales or that you know about them? Things like staying in calibration or the "true range" of what level of precision and repeatability they will do ect? I have a 120 of course, as you know but I've thought about getting another scale for your new total system and keeping my IP + AD120i set up as well so just picking your brain if you will oblige.It really depends on your needs and preference.

I break them down like this:
If you want all the speed you can get from the system and readability of the scale down to .001gr then Sartorius is my choice.
If you want all the speed and scale readability of .02gr then the A&D Fx120 is the best choice " This is the most popular choice and arguably the best value for speed and well enough precision and why all other previous systems use it only."
If speed is not as much of a concern, 4-8sec vs 13-20sec per charge but still has .01gr readability then the Creedmoor scale is for sure the best value.
The value to me comes in as time and the difference as to if you load thousands per month or 50 for a hunting season and why I wanted to make a system that lets the customer customize it to what they need.
Hope this helps you decide. Paul

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. What scale are you putting it on ya think?I'm picking up another 120 for the new IG thrower setup. Ill.keep my current 120 AT/IG setup as is.
In my personal opinion a measurement device needs to be 10x more accurate than what you are wanting to measure to have a high amount of certainty in the data. That being said I'm pretty partial to my Sartorius, but you pay a pretty penny for that. For me I needed something that would also weigh much smaller amounts with certainty and its a must so it was a cry once kind of purchase to meet all my needs.Seeing as you have all 3 of these scales.

The electronics work in what ever units your scale is set toPaul... does your controller support grams too or only grains? Reason I ask is the fx120i has slightly better resolution if you run it in grams. (We're splitting kernels at this point, but it matters to some OCD types.)
I'm guessing it does support reading in grams since you have European distributors and plan on selling it in Europe, and most European reloading info is provided in grams.
Which model satorius is that or what models will work? The 503 looks to be discontinued and it's hard to go through and see the speed and readability and linearity for each one so, if anyone else knows the models that we would be interested in please let me knowIn my personal opinion a measurement device needs to be 10x more accurate than what you are wanting to measure to have a high amount of certainty in the data.

The A&D Fx120 is a proven platform accurate enough for reloading most all normal stick powders to +/- 1-2 average kernels weight. For the majority of re-loaders this is a good option.
I would say the exceptions are if you need to weigh primers or very small charges. The smaller the charge, usually the more impact a small variable will have on pressures and velocity because the cartridge volume is smaller.
Only for the volume that you load, I would say the Creedmoor would not offer what you seek.
Mine is the Entris 64-1s but has been replaced by the Entris11 line. I would recommend the BCE124-1sWhich model satorius is that or what models will work?

according to the manuals it should work the same. I would need to test one first to make sureHow about the GD503? Will that work with your system @Ingenuity1 ?
Thanks, please post once you have.according to the manuals it should work the same. I would need to test one first to make sure
Discontinued. Do you already own one?How about the GD503? Will that work with your system @Ingenuity1 ?
Yes I do. Apparently unfortunately .Discontinued. Do you already own one?
