GT3_richy Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 If you've spunked for a set of A&D scales already, I think you'd be mad not to buy an Autotrickler. As 1oto2 says, Version 3 with the Bluetooth ready app is truly seamless and was a big step. Its great for load development for e.g. load 42.3gr then just tap +.01/+.1/+1 to load your next increment. Reliably throws to .02gr in <10s no bother. Also found Adam a pleasure to deal with on several occasions - do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 What GT3 said! There is a V4 in the wings but the V3 is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Just had a look at the webpage and the version 4 looks great . All one unit to fit on top of the scales . Should be worth waiting for . Twin motors and no powder thrower . Much more like industrial loss in weight feeders . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I put my name down with Adam to be a beta tester for version 4 at the start of the year . fingers crossed 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to wait for a v4 but could be 6-8 months before getting one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One on top of two Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Oh I know it’s a long way off but always better to put your name down at the start. plus it’s some new and shiny. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffo1960 Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 i have emailed him if he has an approx date,for the V4,and will decide wither to wait or not,if i order the v3 i will ask him about discount on shipping bri25069,and will let you know what he says.

GT3_richy Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I guess you've seen this page: https://autotrickler.com/pages/autotrickler-v4 If you really want V4 but don't want to be without in the mean time, I'd stick your name down for a V4 and buy a V3 WITHOUT Autothrow as the lead time is only a couple of weeks - using a scoop or cheap Lee powder thrower to chuck the bulk of the charge is still a very efficient way to measure powder.

Jeffo1960 Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I did think of that as i have a Redding 3BR Powder Measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3_richy Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I've had V1/2/3, throwing with a cheapo Lee thrower was very little drama. Quite often would do that in favour of using autothrow if I was only loading a smallish number to save the hassle of emptying and cleaning out the earlier version autothrows. It will only add 2-3 seconds to the process tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffo1960 Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Can the auto trickler be controlled via the Bluetooth app, without having the auto throw, as I am thinking of getting only the trickler, and wait for the v4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3_richy Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Pretty sure yes, drop Adam an email, he'll confirm either way and give you current lead time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of that as I use a powder thrower then just hand trickle to weight but it’s the hand trickling that drives me insane as my gem pros take ages to settle, hence buying the 120i scales. Could be an option. Can you zero pan then take back off and throw into pan and put it back on scales. Thought I had read some where, it was best to throw in to the pan when it’s sat on the scales and not remove it till required weight was measured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffo1960 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Adam got back to me and said the AutoTrickler can be controlled via Bluetooth, this is what he said regarding any problems "We will continue to support V3 for at least as long as it's under warranty."

Jeffo1960 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 So I have ordered the auto trickler, think it will take approx 2 to 3 weeks to come. Also put my order in for the V4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 What time did he say for the V4 ? I would have thought it’s going to be a good while off yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffo1960 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Didn't really give me a approx time just said to look at his website, but the way I understood it, will be next year, as I have only just ordered 1,time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffo1960 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 I like it I am in the single SD digits now but only with one load, and it is a very slow process, hope the A&D will add a little more speed to my loading, another question I have how is the best way to set up the auto throw, and trickler, I have watched a lot of YouTube, can't wait to receive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A&D won’t improve your loads much by the sound of things if your already getting single figures. It’s will help maintaining the consistency of your loads by a mile at a nice fast pace. 👍 that load was from my .223 the other evening with a 75 grain bullet. I have the same results with my .308 / 6.5 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffo1960 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 I am hoping speed up my reloading process, and consistency, with the A&D and Fx120i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffo1960 Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Can someone tell me the height from the bottom of the scales, to the top of the auto throw, including room to put the powder in and the depth of the scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
