Powder dispenser.

i started doing the same with an auto tric where charge is .1-.3 under what i want depending on powder type. making sure no air is blowing on the scale to keep it a accurate as possible. started reusing my beam scale from '84 to get target charge.
 
This is my set up, has worked Great for the last 15 years.
RCBS powder throw.
RCBS 1500 Charge Master.
And a home made trickler.
If you are a Serious Br. or 1000yds hunter or a professional reloader for business like Lance then you probably want the Best. For me 600yds is my max distance on deer and bigger game.
Hope this helps.

I used an old Hornady Auto Charge, then transfered to an RCBS 5-0-5 beam scale to trickle up for YEARS.
I almost bought an Autotrickler V3 w. A&D FX120i about 10 times. Then the V4 about 10 times. Always waited.

Then the Supertrickler came out. Watches 2 videos and ordered one right away.

They are pricey, but I love mine. It has cut reloading time by probably 400%, and accuracy is to the individual kernel of powder. I saw no drop in accuracy or increase in ES/SD for my hand loads. It totally changed the process in which I reload.

Does it come with the scale?
 
Perhaps, but for what they want for one of them I can buy a lot of powder, primers and bullets. ;)
It is a vicious cycle.

Stick with the old, load less, shoot less, save money all around, have less fun.
Buy the new, load more, shoot more, spend way more money, have way more fun.

With a new powder throw, you either:
1. Load the same amount of ammo in way less time
2. Load way more ammo in the same amount of time

Either way, production vs time ratio goes way up. Time is money.
My Supertrickler has increased my loading production by 400% production or reduced my loading time by 400%. Take your pick on how you want to look at it. I can load 400 rounds in the same amount of time I used to load 100 rounds.

Here is an example. If I have brass prepped, but not primed, I can start my Supertrickler and start priming brass as I go. I can prime two brass to every 1 powder throw. So by the time I have 50 pieces primed and in the loading block, I also have 25 brass charged. I start seating bullets, and by the time I have 15 seated and measured, the remaining 25 pieces are charged. I finish seating and measuring CBTO. 50 rounds takes about 20 minutes. Which used to take me about 90 minutes to do 50 rounds.

The old way (throw on a Hornady Autocharge to .3gr under, then switch to an RCBS 5-0-5 and trickle up) would take me 90 seconds to throw, then seat the bullet and measure. while the Autocharge was throwing the next. I would have to wait for the Autocharge to finish after seating and measuring the CBTO, then transfer and trickle, seat, and so on. It worked fine, but was slow and laborious.

They are definitely NOT for everyone. But for someone who shoots a lot and loads even more, they are worth every penny. I shoot about 5600 rounds a year average of centerfire rifle. If I can accomplish in 6 hours what used to take me 12 hours a day on Sat and Sun, it is money well spent and has paid for itself.
