STILL on the waiting list now over a year and sitting with fingers crossed that I will see my order filled before the end of the year {2024}🤞🙏 Have an early Auto Trickler with all the Area 419 upgrades as well as the Ingenuity trickler upgrade {That has really helped speed up things with less over/under throw} so now waiting to go all Ingenuity with the extra pieces to up date my system...
I've owned every version of the AutoTrickler and a SuperTrickler. For the last year I have been using a V3 with the IP trickler. I have found that combo to be the best so far but this new IP trickler looks awesome. Can't wait to get one.
I bought the A&D and a V4 a little over a year ago. Super happy with it. I can't imagine this being that much better for double the price. Especially when you consider having to buy all those extra disks and changing out parts when you switch powders. Maybe it's a little faster, but my v4 is already faster than I can dump the load into a case and seat a bullet, so a little extra speed dropping a charge is meaningless for me. The Sartorious balances are nice, but they are expensive. Not sure nearly three times the price of the A&D is worth +/- .02 grains finer resolution. Either way, had this been around when I was looking, and at more reasonable price, I might have given it a look. With that said, it is a nice bit of kit and if you don't mind the price, I'm sure it'll work plenty well enough.
What you don't have with the V4 is the repeatability and consistency. This is where this unit distinguishes itself from all others. When you change from one powder to another and then back, it saves those settings and will repeat exact
@@ingenuityprecision That's perfect my biggest complaint with the v4 is that if I want to be perfectly precise I get a lot of overthrows. Especially using stick powders.
@@ingenuityprecision so I have to calibrate when I change powders. Takes all of a minute, maybe. V4 is very consistent. Rarely get over or under charges.
@@StuninRub I've had them all and tested and so have 1000's of our customers that bought the powder meter to fix their V4. They are not even on the same level. I wouldn't have sold 1000's of the powder meters if the others worked that well. I would be out of business.
If you contact Adam at Auto Trickler he can provide you a cable interface to use your V4 with a Sartorius Entris scale. He just set me up so my V2 and Ingenuity Trickler work great on the Entris II scale while I wait for my Ingenuity Powder Meter System to ship this Nov, last I heard.
I have a Prometheus and a v4 with A&D setup. But I went ahead and got on the list for this. I see some advantages and think I will upgrade to the better scale than the a&d. it isn’t cheap but cool shit ain’t cheap and cheap shit ain’t cool
John, why do you feel that the Sartorius is a significant upgrade compared to the A&D? I'm trying to decide if the significant price difference is worth the money to me. Thank you.
I have been using an A& D for several years but often had to watch it closely as it would “drift” and have too stop and re-zero. Just switched to Sartorius Entris II 120gr and no longer a problem. See video from “Primal Rights” review on this. That is why I upgraded recently.
Hi John, I have the same entris with a V3 stand alone trickler. To get the setup for the entris you demonstrate in this video, should I order the upgraded system on the ingenuity website ? Dan
Hey John, really like your videos pal. When are you going to do a critique of the New "LabRadar LX Doppler Radar Chronograph"?? or compare it with the Garmin Xero and Caldwell Velociradar?? That would be great......as always...Thanks for your efforts....
im wanting to upgrade from my chargemaster lite. However i think this set up is more than i want to spend for 100 and 200 yard group.. what would be a good set up but better than the chargemaster lite thanks in advance
Looks a hair slower than my Super Trickler, but seems to get to speed without the fuss. The Super Trickler took a bit of playing around to get it fast.
John was just showing the rude and crude right out of the box and calibrating for each of the powders. He didn't spend any time fine tuning. I can tell you, charges average about 4-8 sec religiously. It drops the bulk charge in about 1/10 of 1 second and trickler does the rest.
Hey John, I've been on the wait list since last spring, the website says shipping 4th quarter this year, but before that it said late spring 2024. This thing looks awesome, I can't wait to get one, but do you have any insider info on an actual shipping date?
@@FClassJohnhe just keeps pushing the date back. I reached out three days ago and all he said was “still a few months out from delivering”. I get he’s a small business but some word to the customers would go a long way.
Any chance you can show a setup on a creedmoor scale. I’d be looking to get this setup. Creedmoor is a great scale that basically got no support and this is a huge plus. Money aside I am interested.
@@SpudOutdoors This is an older video. The dome would be the new one like I showed in my latest video. I thought you wanted to see how it actually worked, sorry.
@@FClassJohn just wanted to make sure creedmoor scale wasn’t an after thought build unlike the other two scales. Well thought out system. But to the main question how good is it at throwing that lower weight range. 26-34 grains.
That’s awesome. Can’t imagine spending $1500+ on just the scale though. I mean, if you got it, you got it. “Ball out” as the young ones say. I’m still relatively knew but does the other FX scale not have enough granularity for reloading powder? I can imagine if were trying to see the difference between 0.001gr then it’d be worth investing but from the limited info I have on the FX it seems like that should be plenty good enough for the size particles we deal with in reloading. I don’t know. I’m no pro so maybe I’m way off base. Very cool nonetheless. Every time I’ve check the site for this it’s been a $0.00 preorder thing but it never seems to give me a price or date as to when they will start selling them. I imagine there will be a large backlog of orders to get out and could be months before you can easily order one from the site. Will keep eyes out though. 👍🏼
If you click on the options for the preorder it will show you the prices. If you don't get in line on the preorder and are waiting until they show in stock for immediate shipping, it will be next year for you.
@@ingenuityprecision hmm. Must of missed one of the drop downs. Thought I picked an option for all 3 drops down. I’ll have to try again cause I def want one before a year. Thanks for info. 👍🏼
Surely someone could take a couple days, "fine tune" each powder and create a simple database with the settings for each powder to be optimal so that on the app you just tap the powder you are dispensing instead of all the calibration / fine-tuning each time? The discs are specific to certain powders anyway, so I assume there has been data captured already?
You only calibrate a powder one time and you save it forever. It only takes about 45 sec to do the calibration. There is just enough difference between your same powder as mine in humidity to make it run slightly different which would require tiny tuning anyways. So no real benefit to a database
They recommend the Entris II, I puchased one recently and working great compared to my prior scale. See “ Primal Rights” video on his set up/review using the Entris II. (120gr not 60gr I guess)
@@ingenuityprecision I use mainly AR2208 and AR2209 - 223, 6.5, 308 - with some of the charges i use at the moment - say - 22.8 - I’ll accept 22.8 or 22.78 - -but not 22.82 - as the ES and SD get larger that tiny bit over 22.8 - thankyou for your reply here from Australia 🇦🇺
@@bluekats777 The reason I said what I said is that a lot of people do not understand that if the particular powder is say .02-.04gr in average size with some variance between them that it can be impossible to get exact 22.78-22.8 every charge. The powder kernels have to be consistent in their size. If they are then you could set the acceptability to 0.0 and it will finish each charge to exact
@@bluekats777 Yea, my tested N570 is more like .08gr per ea. A lot of powders from VV and Alliant are very inconsistent in kernel size. They are same diameter but vary in length a lot in the same jug. I tell people loading these powders that realistically you should be +/- an average kernels weight of these powders.
@@smolaman83 Absolutely not! That's the beauty of the disk trickler. It can only drop a kernel of powder when the notch in the disk is over the drop hole as it rotates. This is how it does not overcharge
@@ingenuityprecision Exactly as you say, I have that upgrade to my original Auto Trickler and it is WAY better than the rotating tube of the original setup.. Faster and less subject to over/under throw! Now just waiting for my "Pre-Order" to come to the top of the list so that I can have the whole platform...
I pre-ordered one and planning to switch from V4 Auto. If I’m only shooting one or two different powder, certainly V4 is good enough. But loading 5+ different caliber with all kinds of different powder, V4 can easily get me frustrated. The only concern I have with this one, judged by the previous video, is how easy it is to switch between different powder. Hopefully I can get mine soon and try it out.
I logged a preorder in January .. have been waiting with bated breath ever since . Began sending a "whine" email every month since May asking for status ... getting very prompt return emails say shipping delayed ... delayed .. but now the end is in sight ...
