andybrock Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I got the Mrs to buy me a Targetmaster Powder Trickler for Christmas which arrived yesterday and what a fantastic piece of kit it is, very well made, extremely accurate, repeatable and very easy to set up and use. I found the iphone magnifying app very useful as you can see just how accurate the set up is performing. Ive attached a short video of me weighing 29.5 grains of N133 and I could repeat this accuracy time after time. If you are thinking of getting one DO as it will be the best £120 or so that you will spend. Allan comes on here so if you want one give him a shout you wont be disappointed! http://s1020.photobucket.com/user/andybrock/media/Mobile%20Uploads/FD8203F1-22EC-47D2-A6B1-2360BCE3160C.mp4.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Great looking set up Andy, I'm just hoping my wife is as imaginative as yours. Glad to see the scales being used, the IPad app makes it so much easier to veiw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scales are great Steve, when I showed her what she'd bought me for Christmas she just gave me "that look" that only women can give and walked off!

MrCetrizine Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I ordered a Targetmaster last week. I watched a friend using a similar but inferior system and googled for something similar but better. I found dozens of testimonies from very happy users so immediately ordered one. Allan emailled me to say he's a bit behind at the moment but hoped to get mine out for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCetrizine Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 50 in a row with perfect accuracy. I love this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clivej Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Used one for about a year and is a great aid to reloading. I use a web cam connected to my laptop. This way I can see full screen the zero on the scales. Saves a lot of bending down to rad it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstick Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm a big fan never misses a beat! I Dump 90% of the load and let it do the rest Leaves me time to seat the bullets between charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha1 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I bought the target master and a calibrated scale great piece of kit. I use mine connected to a lap top its the dogs dangly bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Fantastic bit of kit. Had a few issues with my electronic scales and went back to the beam scale with this trickler- couldn't be happier. Alan is a really good fellow to deal with.

Gungrinner Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 The website says it's not suitable for a Lee safety scale. I think its because of the size of the balance beam on the Lee. Could you not make a light weight flag to cut the light beam ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 You probably could but I wouldn't trust the Lee scales without anything stuck to it, let alone modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravo Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 it is an old topic but i bump it up just because i want to say that after one and half year of use of the targetmaster trickler my reloading has been speeded up and it is really accurate. i love it. i had a lot of problem with an electronic scale (gempro) and even after been replaced it coulnd't hold the zero. so i went on a mechanical scale, a redding one. then i discovered the targetmaster and now i can reload 20 ammo in 15 minutes and they stay in a speed spread of max 1-2m/s. i reload 308 with VV N140 and N540 and 300WSM with VV N550 one of the catch in my shooting equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 How does the target master tricker compare with the recently upgraded all singing and dancing electronic dispenser the FX 120i. Wondered how accurate the TMT weighs in 0.01gr wise. Catch 22 may have played with these 2..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 No comparison they are not the same thing. Targetmaster Trickler is only as good as the beam scale it’s paired with. Pair it with a good quality repeatable balance beam scale and it works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I agree - the TM is great and does work very well. But for me it comes down to time and convenience. The TM works well but I found it takes quite a while to throw each charge, settle, trickle/adjust, settle. Also as I don’t have a dedicated reloading room (use the dining room table) it takes a bit of time to properly setup for each reloading session. The Autothrow/Autotricker with A&D scale throws arguably a more accurate charge more quickly. And setup time for each reloading session is just less faffing...for me anyway. Just my opinion and no bashing intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
