Targetmaster automatic trickler

[rainman_l]

1066 is an absolute gent and the trickler is a dream to use.
Throw light, pan on beam scale then hit the button to trickle up. As the machine is trickling up that load I seat the bullet from the last one.
Takes no time at all to do 50 or so.

Yep same as me the TM has improved my reloading but I use factory loads for hunting.

I can't still get to grips with why it is so, but a Google of weighed v thrown charge will link to many, many threads on it and quite a number of them reference using a Harrell thrower. But I still struggle with the idea as to why it is so that thrown chsrges give better accuracy than weighed. But if you wish you can do a search on the internet as noted.

It depends on the powder. Also on distances of 600yds and less it makes no discernible difference. Harrell powder throw is EXCELLENT as is targetmaster. And better and faster than Hornady electronic powder throw or rcbs.

Mmm.. Think I'll get one of these tricklers

Sooner or later though others will be along to say that the most accurate loadings are shot using thrown charges not weighed charges. It's a difficult idea to get to grips with as it goes against one's instinct. But it is fact apparently. Thrown charges of a identical volume even with supposedly a weight difference between then are more accurate than weighed charges if the volume of the charges is consistent.

I recently thought this had been refuted. My understanding was that this was based on 100 yard bench rest rather than longer range disciplines where weighing charges compared to throwing produced lower SD and ES which translated to smaller group dispersion. Maybe Laurie will be along to give us his thoughts??
