Different By Design: Hornady Vibratory Trickler

[@derrickbunn9686]

It's more complex than using a manual trickler and less accurate. Pointless.

[@luzianwasescha6056]

Exactely what i was thinking.

[@WarezWally]

I have no idea why they made this

[@jasontrewin123]

WarezWally $ enough said

[@johningersoll3931]

@@WarezWally Because it is a "new, tech filled" form of trickling, and people will buy it just because. I have one of the cheap, plastic tricklers that came with the Hornady Lock N' load kit like Gavin shows here. It works ok, but I wanted something better, so I ordered the RCBS Powder Trickler-2. All aluminum with the weighted, adjustable height base and all. It is a nice piece of gear. And to trickle a couple of grains takes no time with a conventional rotating tube trickler.

[@CrustyOldMarine]

I would (WILL tomorrow) use the Vibratory Trickler. Discovered today, after only a couple months use that the Lyman Gen6 Precision is a piece of junk while trying to weigh bullets. A shooting friend recommenced the Hornady G3 1500 Scale and my local Academy Sports had one in stock tonight.The vibratory trickler was right next to it, so I said "yep, could use that too!" Thanks for the video, I'll be ready to rock and roll in the morning.

[@randalloc]

Gavin, I bought on of these about 9 months ago to upgrade my system along with a decent digital scale and it works very well.. along with the throw you can get it close fast and accurate. As you said much easier with just a push. I recommend it if your aiming for the .002 zone loads and do not have the coin to dump in the Big Boys systems

[@petersouthernboy6327]

This video title is ONE consonant away from being banned 😂

[@jacobridgedell2096]

I've been using this one for around a year and about 8 lbs of 4350, and I can easily drop one kernal of power. The dandy wasn't available when I bought the Horndaddy. I made a slight mod of bending the tube down about an 1/8 of an inch which made a huge difference in allowing me to easily watch and drop exactly 1 kernal. I'm using the sartorius entris balance which reads .001 of a grain which allows you to measure exactly 1 kernal of powder. I can quickly and easily measure each load to the nearest kernal of powder even though it probably isn't necessary to have that much precision, at least I know that my powder charges are a close as possible without cutting kernals lol. I reload for PRS matches.

[@scbane]

Gavin, thanks for taking the time and expense to upload these videos. It is nice to see a fellow Central WA resident succeeding and persevering, despite our communist state gun laws (**** Inslee and Ferguson). I have learned a lot from you, and continue to do so. I am grateful for your time and effort, so thank you. Cheers from Ephrata.

[@AgileK9TopDog]

I love the vibratory. I bought mine right after they introduced.

[@markmorrissey2807]

I bought this trickler it is awsome a great upgrade from the basic one works well with my A&D scale

[@4570Govt]

I could see taping some heavy duty foil in the shape of a "v" under the tube's end that's roughly 2" long, then cut to a fine point, as a way to even fine tune this even more.

[@vonworden6809]

Have you done a similar test with ChargeMaster?

[@allanrichts7620]

Think i stick to my manual trickler, thanks for the video

[@thomasmann9865]

Not bad price wise. I ordered one.

[@toml802]

If I’m running large lots, given the 3 choices, I’m going with the quick trickler. If I’m doing small lots. I’m obviously going with the cheapest thing that works well. Electronic goodies are cool until they don’t work. First rule of maintenance, everything breaks.... some faster than others.

[@KiwiShoot]

The thing I don't like with mine is the height. You've got a large scale, but for those with something smaller, it becomes a huge drop from the tube to the desktop. I use it, I just don't like it :-)

[@daleguthormsen8555]

you need both, mechanical to back up powered trickler.

[@erich9111]

Could you splice in some video where we watch one kernel at a time drop out of the tube? Some useful measuables might be: 1) how many grains per second can it trickle when you hold the button down, and 2) can you add "just one more" every time, without dropping extra? Does it have an interface for an external controller to make it into an automatic trickler?

[@racer3212]

What happened to the hornady auto charge pro? Been waiting for reviews

[@johnsenuta1038]

Why bother the original sucked as most Hornady products do.

[@JacksonMalcolm]

i like how high up the tube is. i hate trying to get my trickler out of the way of the pan and accidentally dropping 2-3 more kernels. Maybe its time to upgrade my balance beam scale though...

[@poorboy6988]

Why would anyone listen to his reviews ? I have yet to see anything that Gavin doesnt like.

[@tomascernas]

Probably cuz he doesn't do videos on things he doesn't like? Lots of people do negative reviews just to get views.

[@Blackline9114]

This video displays what I feel is the only negative thing I'd have to say about the Ultimate Reloader channel, this thing kinda sucks and I can tell you want to say it, but you don't. I don't feel like we always get an honest opinion on gear and just more of a demonstration. But I get it.

[@albertoneri5427]

i really love my targetmasteruk.com for sure it is expensive to buy in us. but in europe it is totally worth it! hope you can try one i can't see a real advantage in an electronic trickler if not interfaced directly to a scale. so i'm not really fond with this hornady trickler

[@The10thManRules]

I read vibrator tickler.

[@mab0852]

It's like a Dandy without the electronic eye. Not having a programmable stop makes this pointless and less reliable than a manual. Big miss by big H.

[@lonewanderer3603]

Thank God. Spinning a tube on my manual trickler is far too much work.

[@charlesirby9222]

Thanks but no thanks ... I'll stick with my Redding. These electric gizmos are a joke, the batteries puke out their guts and the spring contacts go to heck...keep your skill sets boys, trickling is one of them!

[@falba1492]

For all Americans sitting at home unemployed because of the Wuhan Flu, I sure as hell hope this thing is not made in CHINA 🇨🇳. If do, give Hornady a call and let them know how you feel.

[@FullSendPrecision]

Looks silly.

[@rufturbo997]

Honestly I don't and won't use a trickler anymore. I have a RCBS Chargemaster and it does just fine and it's quick.

[@johnnebl4105]

How much?

[@brettcarter2767]

I appreciate the review but the product is bunk. I wouldn't buy it. With a V shaped tube maybe for bulk loading. Can't beat the standard Hornady or RCBS manual trickler for accuracy though. Love the Chan! -BC

[@quietm4]

Vibratory Trickler....I think my girlfriend has one of those in her nightstand.

[@The_Privateer]

Hey, my wife has one of those. Oh wait. Totally different device. Nevermind. LOL sorry, couldn't resist. That thing seems like the most pointless and unnecessary thing I have ever seen.

[@isoplus3513]

Horn...vibrate... tickler... sounds like an adult toy...

[@chrisgilbert2152]

I know it's just me, but "unboxing" is like nails on a chalkboard!!

[@thomasteac8919]

Dandy 2 -speed electric powder trickler, it will dispense one kernel at a time, ajustments are unlimited to a point.

[@harveydanger8282]

Yep Dandy Trickler been around for a while

[@Anon.Emouse]

The Dandy's are an awesome trickler.

[@recgolf]

+1 on the Dandy trickler

[@hank3152]

You’d wear out the buttons and switches within a month. My FA manual trickler is faster, more accurate and much cheaper

[@avinanrey]

Exactly

[@alexllc2958]

Either go all the way Hi tech and get auto charger , or just simply use manual trickler with the powder measure ; I bought used one 20 years ago for $5 and still working perfect !!

[@rapidrrobert4333]

I'll stick with my manual. I dump within .25 grain of my goal, and a few twists and I'm there.

[@CableDawg496]

I’ll stick with my AutoTrickler V3.

[@iannolan4584]

Yup. Agreed!!!

[@rwmagnus]

If I needed a trickler the Vibratory one would be pretty trick and at $50 bones a pretty good deal. I’ll stick with old school, Frankford Arsenal.. Now that A&D scale is trick but at nearly $800 I don’t see it in my future. I’ll continue on with my Dillon scale.

[@bennybruin7725]

I would like you to do a video on the powder trickler that Area 419 makes all the upgraded parts for it uses the scale that you used in this video

[@bubbala2983]

Have a dandy omega trickler, don't always use the auto functions, but it's there if I want it.

[@hoo-t]

I saw this in my local gun store and almost bought one. Then I thought, I have a 3d printer, I think I can make one. So I did. I haven't used my Hornady manual trickler since. I don't have adjustable speeds on mine, it pretty much always runs on the equivalent of the slow setting on the Hornady. Like everything in this world, there's a small learning curve to become proficient with it. Once you do, it is a huge time saver. Not to mention repetitive turning of that tube on the manual one gets old. Great video! I've wondered how mine compares to the Hornady ever since I finished it. Oh and I've used mine for several months now, and haven't had to replace any buttons, switches, or even batteries yet, and I'll bet money my vibratory trickler is faster than any manual, and just as accurate.

[@mryang3644]

Sold at your local AdultStore🤣🤣

[@JoeyBaby47]

I don't reload (one day), but at this time, outside of a 1050 or Mark 7, I'd go with the AutoTrickler V3.

[@MikyBianchi]

unfortuantely i vaste money (80 €) to buy this toy,even the base is distorted and i is not even comparable with the great Dandy trickler,never again 😡

[@racer3212]

Wish it had a memory to just hit the button after getting the amount set.

[@derektownson9541]

Can you put in the grain you want to use or do you stop it when it hits your grain

[@eddiesargent4163]

Love my Dandy Tickler. This looks to be a similar idea. I'd like to see them do a V shaped tube to get the powder to line up in single file so you can drop one kernel at a time. Thanks for the video!

[@Ebaybow]

Manual tricklers

[@donbarile8916]

solution looking for a problem

[@SIRJ1895]

Looks like another way to waste money.

[@metaller_alex]

Only ONE powder on the table at a time - this is the law !

[@FullSendPrecision]

Agree... but... If you get TAC and 4350 mixed up.... you're special.

[@James-prs-uk]

I’ve had one a while and think it’s shit

[@danielselby8001]

No thanks seems pointless to me

[@buick4622]

Little Dandy is all you need

[@PilotMcbride]

Old school mate.

[@CCXRS7]

You should really check out the DramWorx powder hoppers for the Hornady powder measures. They completely change the game well worth the money they ask for

[@richardbillings614]

Waste of money

[@dking9517]

As has been stated, the Dandy will drop 1 kernel of H4350 at a time, easily. Have no problem dropping .02 of TAC with it also. Can't remember what I paid for the Dandy but will buy again, IF this one ever gives up the ghost. Can nail my target charge every time. Maybe one day I'll step to the autotrickler for my A&D but my current setup gets the job done quite nicely.

[@Jeff_Seely]

I have an RCBS trickler but I rarely ever have to use it though since I use a Harrell powder thrower. That thing is wickedly accurate and costs a lot of money but it is the best thrower I can find. I know a lot of the benchrest guys that use it and like Harrell tricklers. They also have a portable version for making tuned rounds at the matches.

[@toml802]

Large lots, between these 3, I’d choose the quick trickler. If I only load small lots, I’ll use the cheapest thing that works well. Electronic goodies are great until the don’t work. First rule of maintenance, everything breaks, some faster than others.

[@terryspooner128]

The electric dribbler is cool. if it could be paired with an electronic scale where you could make precise set points that would be even better. When the lights go out a hand operated dribbler and a mechanical scale and Lee dipper set would be the ticket. Promising the electric one seems.

[@may2888]

It is $40.00 on Amazon, the manual one is $14.00. It is certainly not going to break the bank...looking at you Frankford Arsenal.

[@marvik666]

that tickler will be great if the scale control it to the point

[@smoakngun]

I have both the manual ones and I am really happy with them. I use the small one when developing loads and the large when I'm loading more than 20. This model is not for me.

[@cs_yt]

I use this trickler since 2/19 in a set up similar to what you showed, just one difference, I use a Chargemaster Lite for the bulk. Once I get into a rhythm it goes super fast and the RCBS Lite puts me really close, so I have to trickle between 0.05 and 0.1g. The benefit over a manual trickler is the tube being longer and once you get the feel it is less prone to overcharge.

[@christianstahl4328]

Nice video as always. My very cheap trickler is a 9,3x62 case which i roll between my fingers. Greetings from Germany.

[@uclajd]

Funny I was just trickling powder today...rolling a 10mm case full of powder between my fingers. 🤣

[@tony55752]

It reminds me of trying to get an exact dollar amount in the gas tank. I'm not sold yet. I'm not sure what it does better than my good old trickler.

[@2541968joey]

I'll stick to my manual Hornady, I can turn the knob just as easy as pushing the button....but, surprised it's only $35

[@AaronBrand]

I just bought one of those "old school" Hornady tricklers. Next I'll need a good scale; my Lee kit does well, but the precision with the scale is very low.

[@gillesjill4689]

Hi from France, it works fine with all my powders, which is not true with my mechanical trickler

[@kevinwicklund5914]

The cheapo hornady. Works for me. I did just start reloading though...

[@garycatledge6353]

I bought an Omega years ago, which is similar to the dandy, and it works great. One kernel at a time if you prefer.

[@charlesholt2662]

I think it would be faster and cost effective to use a pair of tweezers to drop a granule or two.

[@johntownley9885]

Dandy 2 speed trickler works great. No issues and I get down to single grains

[@automaticsteve9548]

I too have used the Dandy electric trickler for the past 6 years. It is a great tool on the bench.

[@Russell-1]

Electronic for the sake of being ‘electronic’.

[@ryanmitchell8132]

Will it reliably drop one kernel of H4350 at a time?

[@wildcat_reloading]

Smaller than i though it would be

[@jcohenoutdoors]

I...I misread the title...

[@michaelvaldez2966]

Cool, but I'll stick with the manual one.

[@gregw3432]

Hey Gavin you forgot the link to your show on the mechanical Quick Trickle. I would like to see that.

[@Ultimatereloader]

Thanks for the reminder! I fixed the video description, the video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnuxdmuDgriEaNE

[@njmartin1011]

What electriconic scale are you using in this video?

[@howtoshootstraighthtss4948]

A and d fx120

[@danemarley2866]

Hornady lost me when you told me it uses batteries.

[@hewlett260]

Funny, I can still run my Redding powder measure and trickler faster and more accurately than these electric dispensers/tricklers

[@jd447magsizematters6]

I have a question for you brother. Have you had any experience in using small rifle primers in place of small pistol primers with reducing the amount of powder in the load? Same question for magnum small pistol primers in place of regular small pistol primers and reducing the powder charge to accommodate the strength? With components obsolete right now it has me wondering if this can be done without blowing your face off?

[@my1956effie]

Not sold on this unit. May as well use an electronic powder measure.

[@TartanJack]

Solution in search of a problem. I rate this right with the automated powder chargers. No huge advantage in speed, huge increase in complexity. And in this case I see no advantage in achieving an accurate throw quickly.

[@paulvenn4447]

I'd be worried about the latency of the button press and the actual kernels dispensing (after a long period of time/use, say several months). With manual tricklers between the finger tips you can really "feel" and know where to stop I find.

[@glennwatson2751]

I'm sure this costs a fortune and I don't think it works that great. Will take a while to get the feel of how hard to push those buttons. Simple seems better

[@pisacenere]

Good idea but I prefer the Quick Trickel. Less electricity near the powder is always better.

[@jacocoetzee1945]

Welcome to fongkong trickling.

[@texpatriot8462]

My fingers can turn the knob on my Hornady manual trickler without the drama or cost.

[@digitaldaydream420]

Duracell, quality? lol.... if you want battery acid to destroy it in a few months.

[@kencaz]

Wow... Pretty soon we may a well just buy factory...!!!

[@bluescatreimer]

I will stick with my RCBS trickler, I don't use one very often so it serves me well.
