[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2577250, member: 106845"] I currently run a v4 Autotrickler setup, but I would 100% say that the Intellidropper is the best bang for your buck, especially if you qualify for ExpertVoice discounts. Here’s a write-up I did some time ago comparing my two Intellidroppers to what my fx120i read on the same charges: Hello all. I decided to do a really simple experiment today to see how these two Intellidroppers compare to an FX-120i. I wanted to satisfy my own curiosity, but figured others here might be interested as well, since many of you reload. Here are some results I got. I used my newer Intellidropper (about 3-4 months old) to throw 88.4gr of H1000. I did 10 charges and recorded the weight it read vs the weight the FX-120i read (left of slash and right of slash in results below). I included the SD and ES of those readings, as well as what a kernel of the powder weighs. I did the same for Varget with my other Intellidropper that's about 16 months old now. I did 26.3gr with it. I wanted to throw a larger charge and a lower charge to compare results, and with realistic charges for each powder. Hopefully this is useful to someone. I'd say if you don't want to shell out the money for an autothrow setup, and are okay with maybe being off an average of 2-3 kernels per round on your charges, an Intellidropper is a pretty great value. Even an Autothrow setup still completes each charge typically plus or minus a kernel or two. Unlike the Intellidropper though, you know you're off a kernel or two based on the reading and you can adjust the charge if so inclined. The Intellidroppers will always round to the nearest tenth of a grain. **1st Intellidropper Test (newer) H1000 1- 88.4gr/88.40gr 2- 88.4gr/88.38gr -.02gr 3- 88.4gr/88.36gr -.04gr 4- 88.4gr/88.42gr +.02gr *5- 88.4gr/88.42gr +.02gr 6- 88.4gr/88.44gr +.04gr 7- 88.4gr/88.42gr +.02gr 8- 88.4gr/88.44gr +.04gr 9- 88.4gr/88.40gr 10- 88.4gr/88.42gr +.02gr SD- .024gr ES- .08gr Kernel weight .02gr ____________________________ **2nd Intellidropper Test (older) Varget 1- 26.3gr/26.26gr -.04gr 2- 26.3gr/26.30gr 3- 26.3gr/26.32gr +.02gr 4- 26.3gr/26.32gr +.02gr 5- 26.3gr/26.26gr -.04gr 6- 26.3gr/26.30gr 7- 26.3gr/26.26gr -.04gr 8- 26.3gr/26.28gr -.02gr 9- 26.3gr/26.30gr 10- 26.3gr/26.28gr -.02gr SD- .022gr ES- .06gr Kernel weight- .02gr [ATTACH type="full"]379853[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]379854[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]379855[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
