Powder Scales

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

I have a RCBS Chargemaster and a RCBS 1000 Beam and know some shooters' with the "Prometheus" I would like to get one of them but $5K is way too much for me. I see that there is the V3 FX-120I, AutoThrow and an AutoTrickler system out there for under $1K. Does anyone out there have a V3 and what do they think about it?

Thanks
Len

Don't own one. Use a Redding match thrower and a scientific scale. I found a couple of threads about it. Looks like a much better set up.

Len,
The V3 was without a doubt the best purchase I ever made for reloading.

I voted for it with my wallet, I'm in pretty early on the V4 order list, high hopes for having it in-hand in September/ October.

Where did you order from? I didn't see the V4?

The V4 is not out yet. Got one on order as well hoping for shipping in the fall. Google AutoTrickler V4 and it shows some video's of his pre production model. Very slick. CE products had the A&D FX120i on sale a month or so ago. Got mine for around $515 shipped. Using my Charge Master to throw the main charge then using a Dandy trickler to come up to proper weight until the V4 comes in.
I believe the V3 is best auto trickler on the market today other than the Prometheus. The only short coming I have heard is it does not like the large kernel powders like N570.

Here is the link for the V4

AutoTrickler V4

AutoTrickler V4 Since the original AutoTrickler was invented in 2016, it has become the go-to solution for long range shooters who need to measure accurate powder charges quickly. While the core concept of precisely dispensing onto a lab quality balance has never changed, the mechanical design...

What scale are you getting or using with the V4?

 

[Painless300]

The A&D FX120i.

The A&D FX120i.

I got one too a couple of weeks ago from CE Products for $515 including shipping. From time of ordering to delivery (Canada to North Carolina) was four days…super fast delivery.

Get one.......You won't regret it.

 

[jraulsten]

You can also buy the scale now and order the V3 or V4 later. It's plug and play.....

GREAT
Going to get the whole system. I put my name on the waiting list and for Beta Trials.

I got the scale alone like some folks here from CE Products. As stated - very quick shipment and simple set up. Without the trickler, it still speeds things up vs. beam and seems to be as accurate as advertised.
