One thing I have not seen yet is the procedure for changing powder and settings, and how lengthy and cumbersome a process that is or is not.
^Yeah, but I mean the whole setup we're all waiting for with the bulk dropper too
This is so true.Hahaha… I can make a quick video later so you can see it if you really need to, but loading/offloading powder couldn’t be easier… I literally fill up my manual volumetric powder measure, drop 2-3 charges to pour into the top of the IP trickler and go, that’s it. One can start putting powder in cases from drop #1…
When done, there’s nothing to disconnect or clean up, you literally just grab the IP hopper, pour the leftover powder back in your jug, empty your bulk dropper, and that’s it, go on with life.
The only adjustment is one slider… if it takes someone longer than 2-5 minutes to get it setup perfectly, dropping to the kernel without any overs, they shouldn’t be allowed to play with guns lol.
Also, Paul has already said that you can buy the pieces ala cart so those of us with the IP trickler can just buy the dropper so there's no reason to wait on the IP trickler when you can get it, even manually dropping its a world better than anything else.Gotcha. Based on what he’s shown this far (vids earlier in the thread) it looks like it’s going to be pretty easy to live with and I’d bet that Paul will have it squared away.
Even dropping manually, I’m still amazed by the thing, I did another 200rds last night, painlessly, every one perfect to the kernel, it threw exactly 2 of them over (by 0.02gn/half a kernel lol)…
I freaking love the thing.
How long did it take you?Gotcha. Based on what he’s shown this far (vids earlier in the thread) it looks like it’s going to be pretty easy to live with and I’d bet that Paul will have it squared away.

Everyone agrees.My AT3 with IP trickler works really well.
That's crazy. I hope the whole package is like that. I've been waiting since the summer for this to be releasedMaybe about 30-40 minutes or so? I had to stop a couple times for random stuff going on around the house.
FWIW, this is with Shooters World Precision Rifle too, which is like Varget but worse, with irregular-sized sticks that used to make me want to smash my MatchMasters lol.
ETA: I was going pretty leisurely… I’ve done 100rds in 10 mins with it before when trying to go at a good clip…
Good deal. But for this upcoming IP drop, I would have grabbed another. Hope it finds a good home, since it was the last one that worked worth a damn.Here you go boys

Is the v4 that bad? I know there is mixed love for itGood deal. But for this upcoming IP drop, I would have grabbed another. Hope it finds a good home, since it was the last one that worked worth a damn.
I got ride of mine immediately and it didn’t take long to get rid of my super trickler. I have a setup I really like with the IP trickler I think I did 50 rounds of 300 win mag in under 20 minutes the other night and that was going slow.Is the v4 that bad? I know there is mixed love for it
There is no pre order available for the whole system yet. The pre order available right now is only for the trickler that mate's with an ATv2/V3 dropper or that you can drop manually and use the trickler that way.So is the pre order for the auto dropper and the trickler combined so you would just need a scale?
That's crazy. I hope the whole package is like that. I've been waiting since the summer for this to be released
Yeah me too. I do much better just charging 50 at a time or 100 at a time then seating the bullets and I can seat the way I like to that way as well. It's faster for me also, and I have checked doing it both ways a few times.It's a great design, but getting the best speed out of it also depends on how you load... I find I can go much faster just doing all the powder drops at once with the cases in loading blocks assembly-line style, going: bulk>trickle>drop> move funnel, bulk>trickle>drop> move funnel, repeat/etc.
Then, after, I seat the bullets.
I found that going one at a time, doing a drop, seating a bullet, then doing another over and over again, was actually way slower, I was losing a lot of time since the IP trickler can do its thing much faster than I can seat a bullet carefully...
You can but the odds of missing one are still higher. Single stream virtually eliminates the possibility and is faster.If you do all the charging before bullet placement and seating you can visually inspect the whole tray and make sure none are empty - and zero squibs
YesJust confirming that on the website, it says this works with the AT v4, is that correct?
With the AT3 and IP set up I'm doing about 130-140 rounds per hour by doing single stream reloading. Prime, charge, seat, measure and mark while the next charge is dumping and trickling.
I can't even come close to touching that speed by doing each individual process in bulk steps.the
Another benefit of single stream is that it minimizes the odds of having a squib versus doing separate bulk charging and bulk seating operation.
It's not for me. I can't get the case in and bullet in to seat, then seat it and remove it, before the IP is done. To each their own though, if that works for you and is faster then cool. I wish it was faster for me too but it just isn't right now. I also kind of like being able to charge them all then seat them all and pay attention to how I seat the bullet and how it feels and all so that could be a factor for me. Either way, there is no better way to trickle and load than with the IP that I know of.You can but the odds of missing one are still higher.

Yep to each there own. Some guys reloading room isn't conducive to single stream. Some guys like doing bulk process. Some guys have two or more AT/IP setups which is definitely faster.It's not for me. I can't get the case in and bullet in to seat, then seat it and remove it, before the IP is done.

Actually the simple key pad is one of the things I like the best. I don't like touch screens and having to use my phone and all to do simple things. I'd rather have a simple key pad that works all the time without me having to plug something else in or get another damn app or whatever. Just something that's right there with it and has easy actual buttons is way better for me and I happen to know that's why Paul went with that keypad as well. You may be right that someone comes along with a more advanced controller for it but it's not something I'm interested in. Maybe I'm just getting old but the older I get, the more value I see in simplicity and things just working as intended. To each his own though, no harm in progress or finding a better mouse trap for sure so...The Achilles heel - or perhaps I should say the shortcoming - is going to be the electronics. Don't get me wrong, I love what I'm seeing, but...
We're using a 1980s Texas Instruments style keypad in 2023? There is so much technology that could be brought to bear on this device to do everything automatically, and have a display with readouts and stats like the supertrickler.
My next prediction (my previous one was no way < $900) is that somebody will make an aftermarket control mechanism that leverages modern technology and use an iphone or touch display rather than the keypad.
Also I had to send it back to Brand once when someone came and did god what to it.If you have a prometheus, why do you need another/different one?
The keypad is simple and hopefully robust, but does seem like there's a little bit of learning to do to use it. Doesn't look too complicated though.
