I've seen it work magic on rifle loads but does anyone have any experience loading pistol loads? Since some of the charges are 4.0-4.7 how does it handle low amounts of powder? Does it automatically go into trickle mode? Just wondering how it handles the job.
 
I used the old style RCBS unit to load 200 pistol rds one day, can honestly say it was a big waste of time. A powder measure, drop, thrower, whatever you call one will achieve the same results with ball powder in a fraction of the time. But if you don't have one???? It will work.
 
Agreed, most pistol powders drop very accurately with a powder measure.
