A&D FX120i

Morning,

Considering a new scale but don’t have the budget to order an auto trickler immediately. Does/has anyone used one as a standalone scale with a hand trickler? Is it’s simple as using it as you would a regular scale / can it be used without the guard?

 

cheers,

 

Richard

Thanks for the reply. Do you use the wind guard? / is it a pain to use manually? 

Easy enough to Dremel a ‘hole’ in the wind guard to allow the spout of a trickle to pass thru’ but I try to keep the powder cup central so would depend on the trickled you are using if it will reach?

cannot see a reason not to use the wind guard

Richard,

Photo of my set up.   Right hand guard removed, trickler sat on top with funnel through hole into long handled kitchen measuring cup.   Works perfectly

When making .44mag loads, I loose the Autothrow off the top of the A&D scale and simply use the Autotrickler unit.

I actually do a small manual scoop of powder (shotgun), dump into a metal cup, place on scale, wait for Autotrickler to finish, dump powder into case.

Ive done it before using a Redding manual trickler and the A&D scale. Works fine.
