    Trickler / Scale Expectations

    They are working very well. You are correct, they are coarse threads of various pitch for the type powder. We should be finalizing this fairly soon. I am not sure of a timeline for production. MK Machining is very thorough in testing.

    Fx120i not turning on, just ticking?

    Bad power supply or broken cable/s. I would check the cables first, they are known to break.

    33.2 of RL 15.5 @ 2830. I can run them faster, but they like low 2800s more.

    108 elite hunter is a hybrid ogive. I also ran 108 BT and 107 SMK with good success. 107s can be had for less $$.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    The one on the right has a slight ejector mark over the C, so that is mild pressure sign, I would not go higher. The other signs to pay attention to is stiffer bolt lift or clicking at top of bolt opening.

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    RL16 vs H4350 at today's prices... What would you buy?

    No, not in my experience. It is easier on barrels than H4350 and RL16.

    Question about higher end trickler systems vs Chargemasters

    To be fair, if you include the time for bulk throw to finish it is 9-10 seconds. Still super fast.
