Powder thingy

[kickinback]

I sold the chargemaster the other week and went to do some reloading last night for a Comp today. Let's just say I stayed home and started building my new powder thrower/trickler setup. I have looked at what's out there and the ducks guts is the Prometheus setup, but at over 5k in US spondulies I'll give it a miss.

This is the start of the trickler.









Waiting on a optical sensor, vibration unit and a few arduino electronic boards to arrive.

Don't think there quite the same quality lol but hopefully both serv our purposes.

Started making a Culver style powder thrower to work in conjunction with the trickler today.

At the moment it will vibrate but if I'm not happy with it I have a nema8 stepper motor and driver to make the spout turn.

Lovely machining work mate, I get the idea of how to use it now. How do you adjust the amount of powder ??

Excellent work but aren't you afraid that ADI will change the thread on their packaging?

I know if I had the skill to make that, with my luck, ADI would change their packaging immediately.

Yes adi will change something but just a thought. Would a clear bottle be better ????

Notice the unthreaded section at the top? A polycarbonate tube wil slide into it.

I recently had 2 different powders on the bench and had to pull the projectile on on round just to make sure. Luckily for me there was a significant visual difference between the two. 43gr of 2207 in a 260 might not end well, hence the bottle screwing straight to the thrower.
