Not a huge timesaver? Not faster than trickling manually? Really? Man I ran charges side by side with my CM which is faster than manually trickling and the A&D/AT combo was WAY faster. Like half the time. Throw to 3g under target and then the AT finishes it off in lightning fast speed in my experience. Also, I played with the ramp up/down speed on the back of the A&D as well as the tilt of the AT. I have it dialed in perfectly right now with zero overthrows. The time between this and the CM doesnt even compare. When the Auto Throw arrives in a week I wont have to do a single thing anymore.
I said "Not a huge timesaver but I give the edge to the AT, and so much easier to let the AT do it". I did not say it was not faster.
I throw to .2-.3 grains under and trickle the rest. Only requires 10-15 kernels of powder.
I don't remember it taking more than several seconds to manually trickle the rest.
If I timed it I'd probably find tricking a few seconds faster with the AT, and that when I do 50 or 100 rounds the savings really adds up.
I just wanted to create reasonable expectations re: time savings for someone considering the purchase.
It does cut down considerably on the focus required, tricking to a single kernel is a PITA.
It's awesome watching the AT bang it out automatically and accurately and, yes, quickly.
The RL-16 powder I was weighing is very nonuniform, with the largest kernels twice the weight of the smallest.
Trickling by hand I'd sometimes have to remove a large kernel and add a small one to get +/-0 accuracy.
With Varget or H4350, with kernels all exactly the same weight, I might be able to get +/-0, but I don't think it's possible with the RL-16.
