Thanks for the review, I've been needing to upgrade my old trickler so after watching your video I ordered one of the Lyman Brass Smiths tonight. Hope all is well and you had a good Thanksgiving.

My dear friend from the USA,You are supposed to turn the knob counterclockwise. From your friend from Brazil

[@johnshandloading7907]

Thank you. I have been using it and turning it counter clockwise. It seems to work well either direction, but I have been turning counter clockwise since someone else said the same thing, to turn it counter clockwise. The instructions on the package say nothing about how to turn it or use it. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a great day.

That looks just right for me , thank u for the video

[@johnshandloading7907]

I really like mine. It is well made and works well. Thank you for watching and commenting.

You are supposed to turn the knob counterclockwise because the threads in the nozzle turn clockwise.

[@johnshandloading7907]

I will try that and see if it makes any difference. The instructions did not specify a direction to turn the knob. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching and commenting.

That's fine, but the problem is that some small powders get stuck naturally between the casting hole and the hollow rod (like H335) making it hard to turn the knob. If you turn CCW then you end up loosening the knob from the shaft and unthreading it.

I think you supposed to turn counter clockwise

[@itrstt66]

This tricklers are used lets say for calibragem ammunitions? Like lapuas?

[@johnshandloading7907]

Yes, mostly rifle cartridges and specifically trying to get the weight of each charge as close to identical as possible. Very precise measurements when possible. There are electronic scales and electric tricklers that make extremely precise rifle cartridges. I don't have either of those.

[@ivanivanovich2540]

Test it with H335 and you'll be ready to throw that thing away.

[@johnshandloading7907]

Luckily I don't use H335. I have used several stick types and ball types, they all seemed ok.

[@yuppiecruncher]

Also H110. F*&# this POS.

Maybe if you rotated it the correct way it will work
