I am looking to buy one to see what I am missing out on. I think something along the lines of the Intellidipper would tick a lot of the boxes.
Any one with experience using them would like to chime in please.
I would prefer to buy a secondhand unit at this stage to minimise the investment cost ( yeah I am tight ... I reload dont I ). and if its not what floats my boat easier to recover the outlay.
you can borrow mine?Quote:

I should have made the investment a long time ago.
It’s got this mobile bluetooth app - it works just fine and you can store some of your favourite loads in there, but to be honest it was nice to play with but not something I use much.
But I must add that I have neck turned the Hornady brass and I anneal them each time before reloading it.
Got my Intellidropper from @Double Shot ;

Know nothing about them from personal experience except for watching Gavin Toobe's review.
Still running an old Chargemaster. Couple of years ago the Chargemaster 1500 part of the dispenser went belly up. I considered other brands of dispenser at the time but wasn't that turned on with what was available so took the hit and bought another scale.
If my Chargemaster should die again I will not replace instead will go with with a V3 Trickler (or V4 later in the year) or consider something like the Frankford Intellidropper.
I only use the Chargemaster to pre-dispense then finish on my AnD.

I have the A&D scale but if you are on a budjet then not your sort of thing. Great scales though

Thanks Zimmer, I did do a search, but considered that the info was 9 months old and folk will have had more use / experience from using them.Quote:

@Maca49 I didnt think you could reload? Are those perssimon cuttings blooming yet?...... watch out one is actually a vagina shrub, its ok to take little sniffs but if you inhale too deep it smells like old arse.
Going to be filling this lot shortly. :pacman:

I paid $1275 for the fx 300i bare scale. Since Im only reloading to hunt I can trickle the load by hand however that V3 system looks great if doing a lot of target shooting
Yeah I punch a bit of paper, hence the desire.Quote:

I see from your photo you have a rotary dispenser (Redding?) so you are already part set up to dispense into an AnD.
I used the toy feature on the camera to obscure the crap on the shelves, so with the 300i basically all I would do is upgrade from a beam scale to an electronic one, unless I went with the other add ons.
I think I will look out for an intelli still, I might put an add up in the WTB section.

Yeah @Maca49 I can play with that, it will help me decide if its the right direction.
Is it calibrated for black powder?
Those V plants are definitely female as they are all going to seed, and getting heavy in the base.
Are you essentially working ( or at least showing up? ) I could grab it when I am essentially sweeping next?

Same here, can get some decent speed with practice. I have however "expressed interest" in the V.4 Autothrower system when it becomes available.Quote:

Nah thats not his place, thats a little known child care center. Where you can drop them off and never have to pick them up.
