[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 333904, member: 1039"] The Harrell kicks butt. If I'm loading for 200 yards and under or near max I'll set it, check every ten, and go to town BUT stick powder is often a problem (as it is with most measures I think). Even at that I can feel the hang and I know to dump that one and go again. For the longer range stuff or loads near max I still use it to fill the case, dump the powder in the pan, adjust as needed, pour it back into the case. Most of the time I just pour it back into the case. Trickler- I have one... It sits. I just loaded 22 rounds of .308 with RE-15 (stick powder). I poured the powder into a glass measuring cup and used a stainless steel teaspoon from the kitchen cabinet to throw my powder. No kidding. It's a lot easier to trickle a little into the pan with a teaspoon than to turn the little knob on a trickler. After a few cases I know how much to put in the spoon to get real close initially. I've done it that way with the beam scale and electronic scale. Stick, ball, or flake powder. All are easy to throw with a teaspoon :D I've loaded a full block of 50 that way many times. [/QUOTE]
