Power powder trickler
Many moons ago, Midway had offered a battery powered powder trickler for around 10 bucks... maybe it was less, I don't recall.

Anyway, I have one, and love this thing. Because of its age, I'm getting concerned that it isn't gonna last forever, but there is nothing else out there comparable.

I refuse to spend a couple hundred bucks on the electronic scale/trickler combo gadgets that go haywire under florescent lights or otherwise decide to quit when you need them most... all I want is a spare battery operated trickler!

Anybody making anything similar these days?

Thanks Hivel, I have a manual one I got when I first started reloading back in 1970.
I've been using one that looks like the Frankford arsenal "Jiffy Trickler" in the second link except mine is branded Midway.

I want a spare! None of the three pictured are still in production.

Thanks

I have not used one for years and that was my go to method. I have a manual one made by lee. I purchased an auto scale made by lyman about 20 yrs ago and I use it to load all my rifle ammo it has an adjustment for the feed with two feed barrels and the second step it slows down to a trickler . .Not sure what I would get if it dies.
