Hornady Auto Charge Pro vs Autotrickler

We had planned to compare the new Hornady Auto Charge Pro and the V3 Autotrickler, but this was pretty much a David vs Goliath situation if David wasn’t so good with a sling shot, blind and missing both arms.
Having said that, at a third the price, or less, is the Hornady good enough for most people?

Nice review, looking forward to the followup on the Hornady now that it's been three months. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos mate.

[@ImpactDynamics]

Cheers Michael. I've loaded twice since we filmed this, so need some more time with the unit, but happy so far.

My rcbs charge master lite is with in 0.08 grains and usually with in 0.03. I weighed 350 charges and checked them on a tuned beam scale capable of 0.02 grains. And is the rcbs is $300. I do love these scale test videos

[@444MarlinSS]

The most accurate way to test a auto charger is to take 5 or more charges, record each one, add them up and measure all 5 (or more) together as one measurement. All combined, they should equal to the sum of each separately added together. Whether its the million dollar scale or the Hornaday or any other, this, in my opinion would be the most accurate way to test any scale. Don't forget to use test weights 😉 Great video, BTW!

Hello from Nashville Tennessee US. Kick ass channel and video editing. Thanks for doing this review.

[@ImpactDynamics]

We appreciate the comment 🤙

The trick is using a powder/loads that are not that sensitive about a few kernels.

[@StuninRub]

7:25 that's not how that works, you would still need a scale accurate enough to measure beyond +/-0.1 grains. Accuracy of +/-0.1 grains means if your scale reports back 39.9 grains, that means it is +/- 0.1 grains from 39.9 grains (39.8 ~ 40.0). Even if you trickle up manually from 39.9 grains till the Hornady Display shows 40 grains, it is still +/- 0.1 grains from 40 grains (39.9 ~ 40.1).

[@tatsuhirosatou5513]

Exactly this is just as accurate as someone hand trickling with on a typical scale

[@mikehunt5934]

Holy cow the exchange rate is insane. I don't remember paid that amount for the auto trickler v3. It was around $1200 for me but that was 4 years ago. At the time the balance was only $700

[@cheekyrick9529]

I use one to measure out the base amount, then trickle up on beam scales, I'm usually with in 0.05gn on the hornady unit.

[@aaronwitthoeft8380]

Top vid lads 👍

[@DLN-ix6vf]

With my 223 ammo 0.1 gr. variance of CFE223 @ 200 yds. is approx. 1/10th of an inch difference in POI. Not very much to worry about.

FYI, Grains are depicted as (gn) Grams are depicted as (g)

The intro took up 10% of the video ???

[@hamedizzy5137]

Hornady scales are very finicky. I found the rcbs match master to be faster and more accurate then Hornady. Non the less I sold both and moved to a real scale. Wont give my fx120i up for anything. I'm sure the cost is alot more down anda

[@paintballplayer700]

Ditto this. I have a V3 autotrickler and it is miles ahead of anything except maybe the prometheus, but those are $5,000 US.

[@PileofBrass]

Looks like a miniature popcorn maker.

[@ImpactDynamics]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think I’m going to convert it to one

[@ilikesundays4312]

Thanks for the info. Probably stick to my powder thrower and super special spoon and hand trickler 🙃

[@jakeeames725]

👍

[@Cosirius]

Those two should never be side by side.

[@stewartmair8645]

Never understood why everything should be quicker/faster all the time? as long as it´s accurate! when i do my reloads then i like to take my time,if it takes a second or two more,who cares!!

[@ImpactDynamics]

Some people love the reloading process, some want to get it over and done with as soon as possible. Each to their own I guess.

[@freedomisgolf5816]

2 Hornady auto charge for 1400 dollars twice as many

[@ImpactDynamics]

Can’t fault that logic! Solves the speed issue.

[@robertosborne1753]

Still can't figure out what you guys are doing with this stuff; you can't have guns lol. All you guys gave up you guns when your kings told you to lol. What are you dumping your powder into with no guns?

[@ImpactDynamics]

That’s it, we don’t have any guns. We just like measuring powder. Helps with the boredom.

[@jtv3062]

I paid $1100 for my auto trickler, that's not 3 times the cost of the Hornady.

[@jtv3062]

And I received it in August of 2020.

[@ImpactDynamics]

Nice! $1100 AUD? Where from?

[@mikehunt5934]

@@ImpactDynamics I looked you guys up I found that you guys are in Australia. Just looked up the Hornaday and expected the price to be higher than $300 US

[@ImpactDynamics]

Yeah, the Hornady is approximately just under $700 AUD, with the Autotrickler V3 and scales usually north of $2k AUD.

[@mikehunt5934]

@@ImpactDynamics for me $1100 was more than out of my price range, I wanted to quite dicking around with "saving money" and took the hit to the credit card. I'm so happy with it.
