A&D FX-120i Observations

I used an old Belding and Mull powder dump and a cheap RCBS manual trickler for a couple years after getting the scale. It made me a believer in weighing every charge and then eventually upgraded to the V4. Accuracy first, which it seems you agree with since you bought the scale first, then comes speed.
 
Ignorance can lead to many mistakes in life. The great thing is there is the opportunity to learn from the many experienced and gracious members here. We all do not have the same goals and financial means, but I have found that compromising on quality has rarely made sense in the long run.
 
I throw with a measure then trickle with my fingers. If your fingers are clean, I don't see an issue. I do make sure to never touch the anvil side of primers, however.
 
I realize I am late to the party on upgrading my scales, but I finally pulled the trigger on A&D. First off, the initial impressions were great. It provides a significant boost in confidence in consistent charge weight. It responds very quickly to single kernel changes and drifting seems to be an issue of the past. Now I understand the need to upgrade my way of trickling charges. The old RCBS trickler is not ideal. Using tweezers to drop or remove a kernel or two is not going to cut it for me.

Others have gone in on the full trickler system, but I just can't justify the $$$ right now. I have been impressed Area 419 products. However, I started adding up all their accessories and nearly passed out. It's probably been covered in other threads, but I thought I would float this out for what others thought for is the best and cost efficient approach.
We have had most Scales at one time or another and finally settled on a Super Trickler ST101 Gen 2 with a A&D FZ 120i Scale. Pretty expensive and hopefully this will be our LAST Powder Dispenser & Scale.
 
The V4 is well integrated for use with your scale.
Fast, accurate, reliable.
If you already have the scale, the V4 is the way to go.
If would do it again with both if I was starting over.
