[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2220597, member: 94154"] I have the same family of US Solid scale, in the 300 gram unit. I used to have a Hornady LnL auto dispenser. It was more consistent than my RCBS (gen 1), but man, the mother was S-L-O-W for anything above 55gr. Got pizzed enough to do something about it. I chanced upon two Belding and Mull Powder drops at a favorite gun shop, bought them on the spot. Both needed the drop cylinder. I had some extra powder measures for my muzzle loader, they fit perfectly. Just had to pull off the cone. I was using a lab spatula for final kernel drop but found it to be too cumbersome, so went out and picked up a RCBS hand trickler at another fav gun shop for $10. Easy Peasy now. US Solid scale : $140. Belding & Mull powder drop, $35. Black Powder drop tube, $15. RCBS powder trickler, $10. So, I'm $200 all in, takes me less than 10 seconds to drop a charge (and that's not rushing), no matter the volume, and it's within 0.05gr of target. Since setting up the above, I've only done one hundred 243 Win cases, and I am *really* liking it. The current PITA is that it's ergonomics suck. Too much motion because the B&M is mounted to the side of the scale. I think I have the parts to build an assembly that keep it self contained. The M5 stays in the drawer. Didn't realize I had sold my 10-10. Today a friend offered me his spare, BNIB Fx120i. I'd like to set the two up side by side to look at responsiveness and accuracy. [/QUOTE]
