my Redding T-7 turret press which is where I do most of my load development (which, quite frankly, is not a lot). This is, however, where I do all of my low vol- ume loading, which involves weighing charges that are mostly thrown with my RCBS Uniflow Powder measures. Level- ing the scale was simply accomplished. Getting it up and running (programmed so it would weigh in grains) proved to be a bit of a challenge but eventually was accomplished without a call for help to my more digitally knowledgeable son. Thoroughly reading the directions helps. The Sartorius Scale is not cheap at
$309.95 but if you really need precision when weighing brass, bullets, powder, etc., this is the unit for you. I’ll bet this scale will even do stuff you didn’t know you needed to do. I know I’m still sort- ing out the available options. This is one cool unit!
rcbS Powder Trickler-2 As many readers probably have
found out, most powder tricklers on the market are not compatible with many of the electronic/digital scales on the market. They either are not tall enough or the powder tube is too short to reach
the pan when it’s on the scale, or both. At the 2011 SHOT Show the folks
at RCBS were showing off a new up- grade of their classic Powder Trickler. Designed to be used with the current crop of electronic scales and powder dispensers, the Trickler-2 has an exten- sion on the powder tube and a threaded, height adjustable plastic base. Being taller and providing a longer “reach,” the RCBS Trickler-2 is now compatible with most electronic scales and digital powder dispensers on the market. This redesigned trickler is a pretty neat piece of gear that was long overdue. You can buy a whole new unit (part # 09089) for $22.95 or the upgrade kit (part #09093) for your old #09094 RCBS Powder Trickler for a mere $8.95. rcbS bulleT FeederS
For those who load progressively,
the new RCBS Bullet Feeders can speed production by at least 25 percent. I have been using the pistol bullet feeder for way over a year now and just recently obtained the rifle bullet model and have installed it on our RCBS Pro 2000 Auto progressive reloader. The rifle bullet feeder I have is for 22 caliber bullets (a
30 caliber model also is available, with more to come) and has been set up on the machine which now produces most of our 223 ammunition, both for varmint hunting and target shooting with our AR-pattern rifles. Installation and setup of the RCBS
rifle bullet feeder was pretty straight- forward and the directions were quite easily understood. The photo (page 22) shows the bullet hopper/collator atop its stand. Bullets are oriented base down in the collator and are fed through the feed tube to the special seating die. The feed- ing of one bullet at a time is controlled by a powder measure attachment which activates the feeder, dropping one bullet at a time into the proprietary seating die. Care must be taken to assure only one bullet at a time drops into this seating die (read the directions). In use, a couple of hundred bullets
are poured into the hopper of the bullet collator and the power turned on to ac- tivate it. As bullets are fed to the seating die, the collator is turned on and off, via a micro switch, to assure a continuous supply of bullets. Having some arthritis in my hands, I find not having to handle
