Santa (my wife) bought me a new AutoTrickler V4 and an FX-120i for Christmas!!! It pays to be naughty sometimes
I've only had time to do a general setup, great YT videos, and took about 30 minutes to tinker with the ATv4 tuning and throw some charges. This package is looking fantastic. It's going to replace my GemPro250 and Lyman Gen?? setup.
A few months ago (with the GemPro and Lyman setup) the loads I put together at sea level were shooting .5" groups, when I went up to 4000' and dialed everything in and commenced putting together the same load, my accuracy tanked - 3" groups! After a comparitive analysis of the two powder charges that were thrown at 0' (home) and 4000' (huntng cabin) they were off by .6 grains - at 4000' they were throwing .6 grains more than at sea level. I did not expect this with a digital scale (setup on a wood table with no electronic interference) That extra .6gr did me in. Hope this new equipment treats me better! For the money it should come with a free rifle! It's already rock'n my world by throwing charges in 1/10th the time it used to take. Do the new guys understand that we used to "throw" powder charges??
Now Santa needs to bring me 500 pounds of RL-26 and a semi-truck load of primers!! I'm updating my list now.
