    Homemade Powder Trickler/Scale Setup

    Built a stand to hold my trickler, funnel. scale and dipping bowl. Made from 1/4" plate so the scale has a good solid base to sit on with the trickler set up to drop right over the powder pan.

    Good job!

    I run various powder measures depending on what powder I am dispensing and trickle to weight on a scale for most rifle loads.

    I built and elevated mini-table for my mechanical scales and trickle to be operated from.

    I do need to further elevate my RCBS trickler to gain a bit of clearance 9ver the scale pan however. A bit of weight and a little height.

    Best regards

    I did something similar except I used the 1/4” plate to mount a few other things to.

    jmorris,

    Thanks for sharing that video again. It's a timeless testament to American ingenuity!

    I especially get a kick out of the "poop chute" that shifts your gun powder down and into your scale pan.
