auto thrower / auto trickler first impressions are very positive.

If you made me pic between it and my AMP annealer...I'd have a hard time picking which was my coolest reloading tool. Poor man's Prometheus

I will be getting my auto thrower up and running soon, and it will be paired with the auto trickler.

Oh, I've got that...I just wondered as someone who has the Prometheus, their thoughts on the Auto trickler. Also, if you don't have the 8mm opening/straw you need to order it. I had significant issues with 4831sc getting clogged in the drop...emailed Adam to discuss and he said I wasn't alone and he had a 8mm bottom part...$15 and about a week I had it in hand. It's worked flawlessly since, he apologized and said he hated charging but the mail charges would eat him up if he sent them no charge. To be honest, I was happy to pay the $15 to fix the issue. Good guy to do business with. I LOVE my auto trickler about as much as my AMP annealer...you couldn't buy either one at this point.

The longer kernels get clogged up in the bottom of the drop...it's the 3d printed frame (really the bottom section the straw slides into)...he just increased the size to of the hole to 8mm. Go the bottom and you'll see the 8mm upgrade: https://www.autotrickler.com/auto-trickler.html4831sc is the biggest kernel of powder I use and it was horrible. I couldn't get through loading 15-20 shells and it would clog. Causing a mess all over the bench But it fixed it, I've loaded about 80 since the upgrade and not a single clog.
