I purchased the RCBS Powder Trickler System/Powder Stand to possibly help simplify and speed up the time between the powder pan to the scale, final trickle to the scale, and then filling the case. What you see "in color" is what arrives in the box.

Nuts and bolts of it

Simple, straight forward, and lots of adjustment. Ahhh...the user does not need to THREAD the powder measure into the stand. For some reason, this is a pet peeve of mine. RCBS engineering got it right on this one. Remove the locknut on your powder measure, set into the stand, tighten the lock ring on the bottom.

Remove your current funnel from the powder measure and thread "The System" into your RCBS Powder Measure. (Note - this system will only work with RCBS brand or other brands that have the same size/thread pitch of the lower powder funnels).



Lots of adjustment available from the black upper tube (approximately 3" up/down adjustment", 4.5" green tube, and approximately 30 degrees of angle adjustability.



After the initial setup, fill your powder hopper and the hopper for the trickler now included on "The System" (sorry...not going to type out the entire name each time).



I did not have any success in dropping the powder charge into a normal sized beam scale powder pan. Due to the speed of the powder after being dropped out of the cylinder, ball and stick type powder slides over the edge of the powder pan. A couple of kernels of powder on my bench is not an uncommon thing, but this would produce piles of powder.

Hmmm...solution? As you can already see from the pics, the solution is simple. An empty medicine bottle, wiped with a dryer sheet to prevent static electricity, will work perfectly.

Having the built in trickler on "The System", allows the user to trickle the last kernels to the powder bottle.



Final Grade: A- Using a bottle instead of a powder pan is a minor inconvenience. If the bottle was included, I would give "The System" and A. Is not written in any descriptions that I have found, but I believe this was developed for users of electronic scales.

Now that's pretty slick I can see it'll save some time. looks like a lefty model though .

LOL! Can be spun in any direction you want....

that does look real handy with the trickler atached

I have not timed myself...but, I believe it doubles the output of measuring/trickling with the digital scale.

Will see about doing a timed run over TDay weekend.

Well, How many rounds did ya load with it??? And do ya still like it .

LOL! TDay weekend for me has not started yet. I just got home from work and have to work tomorrow morning as well.....but...tonight, Friday night or Saturday night...will be all mine!

We're still waiting on a second review... I added a 4 inch long piece of brake line to my trickler in order to reach the acculab pan.But it's hard to get one kernel to drop . We need to design a single kernel dropper. If you ask me, the scale should of came with tweezers

Been working....ugh!

See what I can do tonight. SORRY!

HawkeyeJoe - worked a little bit last night...at reloading!

Loaded 50 rounds for my new 223AI using H4895 (same powder I primarily use in the 204).

I am still using the same powder measure as usual (RCBS Uniflow, micrometer adjuster, and baffle).

The trickler system works well, but, I want to load once more with it before I say yes or no.

H4895 and IMR3031 are two of the toughest powders that I work with (long grains!!), so, no powder delivery system, that I am aware of, will deliver the powder with the accuracy that I hope for (includes the Chargemaster and DPS II).

Will post again....

Looks like a pretty nifty rig. The plastic bottle is ingenious.
Instead of a trickler I use a Lee dipper to fine tune my Acculab scale. Definately far from perfect but at least the scoop is already in my hand when I go over I could use a more accurate delivery system myself.

I loaded a bunch of .223's with H335. It was a joy trickling them tiny grains into the Acculab. Much easier than them H4350 grains of rice. The .223's are all dead nuts!! I love my scale!!
