What do you do when you accidently trickle in one or two more pellets of powder than you need? My trickle trick is to take a piece of painters masking tape and dip the corner in the powder pan. The sticky corner easily picks up just one or two pellets. I keep a piece of that tape stuck to the side of the reload bench while trickling. What do you do? | ||

Small spoon If you think your 1-2 kernels over, dig out 4-5 kernels and bring it back up again | |||

I forgot to mention I use a pencil to flick individual pellets back in if the tape picks up too much. | |||

lee dipper and just scoop out how ever many I think I need, if I take to much out I just tap the dipper and trickle it back in. Founding member of the 7MM STW club Member of the Texas Cull Hunters Association | |||

A small spoon with a very sharp edge is what I use. I not only use it to remove kernels but also to add them. For me this is a lot more convenient than a trickler. | |||

Small spoon - I think it stayed in my pocket by accident on some cross Atlantic flight I am too cheap to buy a trickler, use the spoon and nothing else. Also when doing like two or three rounds I just spoon the powder to the scale and don't bother to tune up the powder dispenser. And as Tailgunner said: when over I take out more and bring it back up. | |||

has anyone ever noticed that when trickling powder back onto the scale's pan after you scoop out a small amount from an overcharge, it seems like you put more kernels into the pan from the trickler to bring the pointer up to zero than you originally took out?. i've counted how many kernels i've scoop out when the scale says i'm over and sometimes i notice that more go back in from the trickler than i scooped out. i've also watched kernal size to see if maybe some kernals are much bigger or smaller than others and it doesn't seem like there's much difference there. | |||

I just pinch out the powder by the 1/10 grain! I'm getting pretty good at it! | |||

Just thought I'd share this ingenious trick - not exactly for powder trickling, but for keeping the hopper denisty uniform. | |||
