    What is it?

    Found this in the bottom of a box of parts I picked up. Looks like PVC pipe with lead base, 3 1/8" tall x 1 5/8" OD x 1 3/8" ID. Not familiar with it, anyone know what it is?

    Looks like a powder trickler body.

    It is a powder trickler from the mid 80's I still use mine
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large in large numbers!!!

    "Hope" is not a viable plan and voting for undefined "change" is nothing short of certifiable insanity.

    Yup, agree with Pressman and Rusty. It’s just missing the crank spout. Maybe it rolled under the bottom flap of your box?

    Cut a piece of copper tubing that fits the hole about 6 to 7 inches long. Find a couple of o rings that fit the tube tightly to lock the tube in place. Cut a piece of wood dowel and drill a hole in it on one end to make a handle for the tube. Drill a hole into one side of the tube that is half way between the sidewalls of the interior of the body of the trickler. You now have a very good powder trickler for your reloading needs. I have made them out of PVC pipe. Anything that has a tube is a candidate for home made powder tricklers. They work just as well as the factory made ones. james

    Not that lucky, guess I'll make a crank like TNsailorman suggested.
