I run 4227 through my RCBS trickler with no complaints.

Coming up with $29 to $32. I'll check Sportsman's stock tomorrow before I have one shipped.

Yeah they should have it.

I have a RCBS, used it 2x before moving on to a stainless steamer cup. Haven't looked back.

RCBS, no problems. I also have a vintage (60s-70s) Hornady made from white PVC with a lead weight in the base and a brass tube with a red vinyl vacuum cap knob on the end. Rather science project like, but works well, does not tip and Hornady has come a long way since then.

Come over and try my RCBS first if you want to.

I was going to suggest a French Trickler, but took the high-road and didn't.

If you're a Prime member, no crazy shipping $$. Sportsman's probably wants $15.00-$20.00 more for it. The height of the tube on the RCBS trickler just clears the height of the pan on the 5-0-5 scale. The feed tube rolls easily with one finger.

I am using a slightly modified manual Hornady, but before the mod I did prefer the RCBS.

Neat mod! I'm thinking plastic may bring static with it?

RCBS. Only complaint I had over the years was it seemed too light and unsteady. Melted some lead, poured into the base, and sealed it with epoxy resin. It stays where it's placed. I'd take a picture of it, but it's packed up in all my other plunder, moving home to Montana in a month or so.

Plastic does have that tendency for sure but I've not noticed it with this unit. It stays clean and the powder coming out does not cling to anything.

Yep, that'll do

Same. Because the base was hollow, I filled mine with lead shot and glued a plate on the bottom, felt cloth underneath it. Doesn't move. It's just slow to drop powder. The French Trickle is much faster.

Actually, I'd need two of those because I know Imma probably break one for sure…..
