Auto powder dispenser

[Jamesy13]

Hi
I have finally decided to get a powder dispenser as I’m fed up of hand dispensing. I was considering the new Hornady auto charge pro but as they are hard to get, I’m going with the RCBS Link.
Do people leave the powder in the hopper until the next time they use it or pour it back in the bottle each time?
I use Vit N550 for both .243 and .260 but I also reload for my .22 hornet using Lilgun, does lilgun work through an auto dispenser?

Cheers

I pour it back in. As its useally a month or so between sessions. Also I know what powder is then in the hopper. If you load different cal and powders your asking for trouble with a mix up.

Thanks for your reply. I only use Vit N550 and Lilgun and might not use it with the lilgun. So if I’m literally only using one powder, would it harm the powder if I leave it in? No problem pouring it back each time just want to know.

Hey
Well imo the powder bottles wont let the moisture in. Where as the hopper dose not have a sealed lid.
I'd pour back in.
When loading I always place the powder that I'm using in just behind the hopper. All other powders stay up on the shelve that way no mix ups.

Best to put it back into its original container to prevent moisture or oxidisation issues

Thanks guys, all I wanted to know. Definitely don’t want to risk moisture getting into the powder.

Make sure to close said tap before you refill it with powder, an easy thing to for get and very annoying!

I use an RCBS link myself, you'll be very happy with it! Just don't forget to close the spout after you empty it
