    I love my auto throw / auto trickler, but I've been having issues with clogging on my auto throw with larger kernel powders like H50BMG and Vihtavuori 24N41. I should start out by saying that I have replaced all of the printed parts with Area 419 billet aluminum parts. I took the whole assembly apart this morning and found the issue. The clogging is occurring in the main auto throw block. All I did was open the hole coming out of the block and the hole in the straw replacement piece to .375" and increased the "funnel" angle going to the 3/8" hole on the inside of the block. Problem solved! It's dropping the 50bmg without clogging. I just thought I'd share this in case anyone else is encountering the same thing.

    Merry Christmas!
