Received mine Yesterday40 Minute warm up then thru 25 24.5 Gr loads of VV140 with only ( 1 ) one high reading by 1/10. Verified with my RCBS beam scale and Lee Beam Scale. Both of which I trust explicitly. Then thru 25 loads of BE-86 at 4.1 with the same results! VERY HAPPY!
Just to mention at 8:10 you talk about using the scale cover to prevent temp and air current from fans or AC units from interfering with the measurement. Personally the one thing I find I MUST have the cover on is simply to stop me from breathing on the unit. I can't tell you how many times I have found my reading fluctuate and I find that it isn't any air current from fans or anything. It is just me breathing on the unit while I am operating it. And the effects are HUGE
First, thank you Gavin for all your excellent videos. I purchased an Intellidropper scale recently. I've seen comments on this scale drifting. This (at least mine) will begin to drift if left sitting without weighing a charge for more than about 10 minutes. Which IMHO, it shouldn't do. I haven't called Frankford yet, to ask them about it. But the scale automatically zeros before a charge is thrown. That being the case, charge weight accuracy and repeatability shouldn't be a concern. If using the scale by itself for some reason, it would need to be manually zeroed prior to weighing. Another issue I first noticed in this video and believe I confirmed when I received my unit is, the built-in bubble level is nowhere near accurate on these scales. I thought it may have been the camera angle causing a distorted perception in the video. But now I don't think it is. Gavin's unit appears to be noticeably tilted to the right, from the camera's perspective. My unit tilts very obviously left from the same perspective, when the bubble is perfectly centered. I have a nice little Starrett pocket machinist's level that I used to level the unit properly. I wish I could post a pic of just how far off the bubble level is, when the unit is actually level. But approximately 1/3 of the bubble is actually outside of the line. If you have one of these units, I recommend that you do not rely on the bubble level. Just a couple of FYI comments.
After using a small Franklin Arsenal scale and having big problems with that (as in massive drift to the point of being dangerous) I am not convinced that it’s worth saving $10 over the RCBS chargemaster lite. You even showed it said 6.4 grains then had to trickle up as it was .2 grains off. I really do appreciate your hard work doing the heavy lifting for us Gavin. Keep up the great work.
@Stephen Box I bought the F/A tumbler kit combo, what a good deal to have everything I needed to start cleaning brass for not much more than other brands charge just for the tumbler.
I really enjoy your videos. Since we are both "real" Engineers I can appreciate your need for patience and dedication to adherance to procedures. :-) I also noticed that you calibrated the unit without the cover for the pistol powder and I was going to ask about that in my comment, so I'm gld you explained that this was intentional. Great job and have a great week!
Hello, I'm from the UK and have only used Viht. N140 and N150 to date. N140 works very well with .223" 69gr Sierra Matchking, .308 168gr Sierra Matchking and also 8mm Mauser 196gr - 200gr. The N150 is very well suited to 6.5Creedmoor Lapua Scenar 123gr. At the moment, Nov 2023, it is very difficult to get any which is causing enormous problems. Thank you for your videos, you've given me a wealth of knowledge. Best Regards
Bought this thing and read the reviews cause the most common things will happen. To major issues I had with mine in just 5 months were. 1) buttons on the screen just stopped working, this is in all the reviews. 2) the wifi never connected for me, and call Frankford, they couldn't even get it. They did send me a new one. And after about 7 months, they screen went out again. This is kept on my bench, inside a control indoor room. Hardly ever moved the actual scale. Ended up going with the chargemaster lite and so far it was been incredible. If you are doing precision loads, no matter what you will be confirming all your loads on a manual precision scale.
Hi Gavin, I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Been following your blog about a few months with much joy. In Europe VihtaVuori Oy ( Finland) is on the market since 1922 and their gunpowders since 1926 providing the market with high quality products. Also a great gunpowder for pistol ammunition is Vectan BA 10, made by Nobel Sport ( Germany). Keep up your positive reviews and enthusiasm over the items you review. Leave the negative comments to the other channels. If the critical viewer is not able to see the pro's and con's of a product... He might have a lack of common sense and would likely be better off by buying his ammunition at Walmart. 😉😎😋😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobel Sport is from France, not Germany. By the way, BA10 is one of the fastest commercial powder, so very tricky and even dangerous. Use it for 25ACP but feel better with BA9 :)
@@MajoPikeras, You are totally right, sir. 👍. My mistake.... I was at the same time downloading the reloading data from Dynamit Nobel/ RWS on my laptop and writing this comment on my phone.... Love the BA 10 as it is very economic in use. Need less powder to achieve the same velocity. It also burns very clean without leaving almost no residue, so cleaning my pistol and the cases is almost as good as no work... 😉.
Paul Jeurissen no worries! I have used plenty of vectan “poudres” but some years ago they start to have big lot to lot variations. BA10 is on the fast side for me, but for sure you get plenty of reloads from a can! There were also very good choices for rifle reloading... never get better speeds with the 222 than with SP7, the TU7000 works in mostly every common cartridge and SP11 was a hotrod for the ‘06... now I’m focused in VV powders and giving some chance to RS also Have good&safe reloading!
gavintoobe spanish viewer here! ;) Vihta Vuori powders are rally nice ones! Used for years for Lapua factory ammo. You may want to try RS powders also (if you have tried RE17 or RE33 you allready did!) Cheers!
I was waiting on this review because I wanted a powder dispenser but due to being impatient, and got my tax return, I got the rcbs chargemaster lite and love it. Never needs re-zeroed and never had any under or over charges. I also love the auto function on it and it's fairly quick as well. I wish I would have bought one years ago.
Mine goes over occasionally with Varget. It's around one every 50-100 rounds so I'm not really worried about it. Still a lot better than the original chargemasters I have seen in action.
Christian from Sweden here. Vihtvauori is great, I use N150 for 6.5 Creedmoor. The Frankford Intellidropper looks like a more polished version of the Chargemaster Lite. I had a Chargemaster Lite that broke after only a few months of moderate use. The connection between the motor and the dispensing pipe broke down so I am replacing it with an Auto Trickler v2 instead.
Use a used dryer sheet that you would use when drying your close and wipe the inside of your hopper, it will help eliminate that static and keep the powder from clinging to the acrylic cylinder.
Thank you for such a detailed video. I just received my intellidropper and your video was extremely helpful. the directions that came with the unit were very descriptive also, combined with your video set up and use was a piece of cake. By the way I love the unit so far. I haven't gotten to the app setup as of yet and only have thrown maybe a dozen loads but the first impression is a thumbs up.
Thanks for a nice video. I setup mine today. After i was finished loading I used the powder drain and brush and it was fairly quick and easy. I had to tip the unit on a 45 degree to make sure all the powder was out of the trickler tube ...
This seems like a very nice machine for a good price. Well if it holds up over time I can see this being a good investment. Thank you Gavin for your high quality videos
I noticed that you had static electricity keeping some of the powder sticking to the hopper. I've read that sometimes wrapping a dryer sheet around the hopper (and holding in place with a rubber band) will reduce the amount of static electricity there. I haven't had an occasion to try it yet myself, but I plan to. I just thought this tidbit of information might be helpful.
...glad I found this...I'm fixin' to load .38/.357 for the first time - I've been loading (on & off) since I got home from Germany in 1974 (started on a Rockchucker - which I still have) - I've loaded 9mm & .45 ACP over the years I plan on building different loads for both .38 & 357 with different bullet weights/styles (and powders) and thought an auto measure would make load development easier & quicker than fiddling with standard powder measures (Lee auto disk & Dillon hopper)...I like what I see...once I determine which load (s) I like - I'll set my standard hopper for each on my progressive press...it would certainly make using a single stage much easier...
Just getting into reloading and I’m enjoying your informational videos immensely. Appreciate You, when I get everything I need together I’m feeling more and more comfortable .
Gavin, I really appreciate your review of the Frankford Arsenal M-Press. I picked one up and it performs well for me. Based on what I see here, there may be some gotchas but the price of this powder measure with its features makes this a quick buy for me as well.
Note to @gavintoobe. I will be reviewing the Intellidropper on my TH-cam channel too! As an electrical engineer, I can say that the load cell is extremely sensitive and relatively delicate. I would be very cautious in banging the side of the powder dispenser to get the powder to empty out! Great video nonetheless! If you notice that your pan weighs 129.0gr. However, when you were loading the pistol powder, the pan's weight was drifting up to 129.3gr. I always double check the weights against a 2nd scale which is my Ohaus 10-10 balance beam scale.
VV is the most consistent powder you can get according to the bench rest shooters we have over here. N150 is my favorite for 6,5x55 behind our Swedish Norma 130gr DL or Lapua 8g Silver Scenar. Both have given me podium placings on national target shootings and field shootings. :)
I recently purchased an automatic powder dispenser and my decision came down to the new Frankford Arsenal or the RCBS Chargemaster Lite. I like the features of saving load data and using a phone to control the FA, but have heard bad things about the scales and 'cheapness' of other FA products. Being close in price, I chose the RCBS. I keep all my load data in spread sheets anyway, and using the app to control it, just seems gimmicky. You are right there, with the powder drop. It's not like you are across the room trying to dispense powder. The thing I do like about the FA powder dispenser, that I didnt know about, was the speed at which it dispenses. However, my RCBS has yet to throw an overcharge with over 300rds dispensed. The RCBS maybe a tad slower, but I am more confident in it.
You very briefly showed cleaning the unit between powders. This can be a significant amount of difference between brands to ensure everything is out. A follow up video on that would be nice to show the level of detail required.
Its not brain surgery, your dealing with mostly smooth surfaces on the inside of the hopper, it pretty much flows out the bottom once u open it..... it literally takes me 45 secs to change powders in my Hornady auto dispenser, empty the hopper, blow the tube out { towards the hopper } empty hopper again......done
I've just landed on this video, very late in the game. I have a Chargemaster 1500 and a Lyman Gen 6 and am always encountering issues like those commented on by some other viewers. I've looked in vain for a seriously consistent scale that doesn't cost a fortune, but that's the point: apart maybe from the legendary (no longer available) GemPro 250, the kind of precision and stability often looked for by the more obsessively precise reloaders among us (I'm one of them) is only available if you're prepared to pay four figure sums for what are essentially laboratory precision balance scales. And even then there are limitations because many do not measure in gn. So ultimately you do get what you pay for.
Anti static dryer sheets are your friend, Gavin! Any electronic scale should be sitting on one and and electronic plastic scale should also be wiped down from time to time with one. You'll be surprised how much better and stable it will operate.
wow these look amazing ,just getting into reloading and love it.its cool to watch someone that makes things really easy to follow,down in NZ by the time stuff reaches us it is very expensive.these dont look to bad price wise down here.great vid and easy to follow
Excellent video and very informative. The powder calibration program is a serious improvement over the competition and should be a real time saver. Thanks
Gravimetric analysis in college chemistry was a hated class by most. I loved it. Back then we had to use a manual scale to measure reaction products to one ten thousandths of a gram. It was in a secure room on granite table and yes it had glass doors protecting the measuring pan. Good times.
hahaha, I have done the power drop from the drain a ton of times, big mess, I feel you. I sold my Chargemaster awhile ago and was in the market for a new one but you sold me. I have almost everything from Frankford so I guess this dispenser will be the next one. I think the powder cal feature is what it sold me
To verify if it's accurate you would need to use another scale. I use my Gem Pro 250 to check my RCBS lite and its accurate. Also RCBS starts to auto dispense once it stabilizes at zero.
My old digital scale gives me crazy readings if my cell phone is nearby. I noticed you had to re-zero a couple of times when you switched over to blue tooth. I would be inclined to leave my phone on the other side of the room and just work with the scale directly to avoid any possibility of the phone causing issues.
Been using the n140 for over a year now very versatile powder I use it in 223 243 and 308. In your 223 you can use it from 50gr all the way to 90gr projectiles. I am running 77gr sierra match kings at 2850fps with a 24.4gr charge it's very repeatable especially here in the uk when weather is varied from 0°c to 20°c
Watched the review, bought the product. FA should be proud to have you as a partner. Hope I can figure out why the blue tooth wont pair but even if it doesn't, it is in my opinion far superior to others I have tried, and the price is nice too.
Thank you very much for the great video. It will help me in my buying decision. As to the powder: in all of my AR-style 308s the N140 powder delivers the best precision and it burns very clean. Greetings from Germany
Gavin, I love your videos - all of them are beautifully produced and usually contain really useful information. I understand you are working with the manufacturers and rely on them for demo equipment. Any negative reviews could end up in that supply chain drying up; I get it. I don't believe for a moment you are giving falsely favourable videos in return for the test kit and also suspect you reject reviewing kit you cannot endorse. However, when reviewing equipment we really need to know how the items perform both in absolute terms and in comparison to their direct competition. Without this we really are no wiser as to how the products perform. Without the critique and with every review being nothing but positive, your channel is starting to appear as one long infomercial, which is not your intention I'm sure! In this case, there appeared to be significant stability / wandering zero issues which would make me particularly concerned on the actual powder loads being thrown. It would have been nice to see a reference scale used to check the loads. There were also significant static issues shown when emptying the powder hopper, but you also glossed over this. I know you also use an RCBS Chargemaster where these are not issues and you could have mentioned it and even better done a side by side comparison. Wish you all the best with the channel.
Kevin- thanks for the feedback. I may in fact do a side-by-side of electronic throwers, that's a great suggestion. In this video, I did make a point to list the pros-cons, and if you read the write-up (see first link in video description) I do mention the issues with tenth-of-grain drift.
Forgot to mention- the static is the same on the RCBS Charge Master Lite units I have- if anyone has a trick (dryer sheet) that actually works to combat this, let me know!
@gavintoob I hope you take this kind hearted comment to heart! We love your channel and it's been great learning from you; but I can't help but disagree with the review. It seems lately everything is getting outstanding reviews. Hope you understand.
@@arnolddarkschner9010 I concur. It's nice to be able to demo the products, but it's now incumbent on us to watch every video to judge for ourselves which of the competition is most likely to fit our needs. It would be nice, for instance, to know if the scale within the Intellidropper is both externally and internally consistent. That is, if you measure out 50 grains of powder with the FA, would your fancy expensive scale come to the same conclusion? If it's not externally consistent, then there are issues with that.
Great thorough review, Gavin. You made a sale since I was on the fence between RCBS and Hornady and this seems much faster and quieter than either of them.
Hank I would still get the rcbs chargemaster. It has worked great for me over the past year and a half. No need for the machine to learn the powder. It charges any of them just fine. Frankford stuff looks great at first but doesn’t last.
I'm from the UK - Vihtavuori has a well-respected range of powders here, especially now there are new H&S regulations that effectively banned some powders from the USA. Also, It's really hard these days to get hold of some really popular powders like Varget because the manufacturer struggles to keep up with domestic demand, let alone producing significant export volume!
Gavin I purchased an Intellidropper today and went through the process of setting it up. I let the unit sit for over 45 minutes. Problem I have and I sent an email to Frankford Arsenal is that all the numbers appear on the touch screen when selected except for numbers 5, 6, 7, and 8.
I have one of these and have had major issues with scale creeping. I have allowed it to warm up from 10 minutes to 10 hours. I have left it go and it keeps adding.1 every few minutes. Looks like he is having the same issue but maybe doesn’t want to call it out
Thank you. I was leaning towards the RCBS Lite but not happy with the 9mm loading speed. I believe this could be the one. I have been using a Hornady Auto Charger now for 5 years and I love it. No problems at all until I got a power bump and there went my PCB. So I am willing to try something new.
I had an issue with a lyman scale. The scale would drift and then it wouldnt reliable turn on or off. It only had issues when running on AC. The AC checked out with a multimeter but it looked like it was noisy. I tried a benchtop power supply and the scale was drifting like crazy. Looks like the scale is very sensitive to noisy power supplies... I had heard that voltage variations would change readings. I removed the jack on the scale and replaced it with a USB plug so I could use USB power supply... it now runs reliably.
This seems like an ok scale if you are loading 20 rounds at a sitting and want super accuracy for power on the high end of rounds but a very slow method if you are reloading in bulk. Accurate scales will jump around as they are very sensitive. I am going to use a very sensitive baking scale in the upper mid cost range that measures in grains with unit conversion features to calibrate a mounted manual powder dispenser.
That definitely looks like a good unit and I like the speed in which it throws! I probably wouldve went with that one over my RCBS Charge Master 1500 although my RCBS is a great thrower also just expensive!!! Great video GT!
I saw that the rtz was out a few times, was that a problem that was frequent or not? Also I noticed that the loads weren't checked on a high precision scale to test for accuracy. Would be worth doing to check how good the scale is.
One thing that would have been good to demonstrate is the AUTO mode. I use this mode almost exclusively. You simply press the mode button and AUTO appears in the upper left corner of the display. You key in a powder weight and hit the start button. When it's ready, you remove the pan and do whatever you do with the powder. When you place the pan back on the scale, in about 3 seconds it "auto" starts dispensing another load.
Hi, I bought this on your recommendation plus i got 20% off. Having problems with hooking up the app to the unit. Called 1800 number but still wont come together. Unit is a bit bulky, but the price is right, very sensitive, but also very accurate and quick!
Great review, Gavin. I always learn a lot from your videos I`m from Denmark and normally use the Vita N150 powder when reloading, and are very satisfied with it`s preformance. Stay dry! Kind regards Claus “Claude” S. Andersen
Gavin have you ever noticed when a phone or iwatch is near the scale they start to get a bit finicky? My Hornady digital scale will tend to bounce around .2, .1 then zero. Idk if it’s phone waves(not sure if that’s real) creating but when I remove any cellular device or put it a good distance away I get much better results. Just wondering if you’ve had the same results
I'd like to see a series of the loads thrown by the Intellidropper weighed on a supper accurate scale to see how consistent they are. I've been looking hard at scales recently and I'm finding the strain gauge type scales can drift a lot, especially the little battery ones, they'll drive you nuts trying to use them. Better quality ones do work well. I have a "lab" scale by Vevor ($116.99 on Amazon), while it is a strain gauge unit, after 30-45 minutes of warm up, it is consistent to 1/100th of a grain (0.01). The best you can get is an "analytical" lab balance that uses an electromagnet to measure the resistance to the load. They are much more precise and accurate...but they are incredibly expensive...usually thousands of dollars. I like the idea of an automated dropper that is quick to get to a given point then using the Dandy vibrating trickler clone I made to get things as precise as possible on my lab scale. Still, if an auto dropper can be very precise, then that would save time and steps, so I'd be curious to see the consistency of the Intellidropper on a more consistent and accurate scale as a comparison.
The Pact dispenser, which was first introduced in the late 90's used powder calibration. Mine is still fast and accurate after all these years. Electronic powder measures have added touch screens and app interfaces, but basically, very little has changed.
Can you do a complete comparison between the main choices when buying a scale of this type. Maybe a scale shootout like you did the reloading press shootout. I would like to get one of these soon. Thanks and keep up the good work
i have to alert my fellow reloader friends out there about this powder dispenseer. My initial one defaulted after one loading session of 44 mag approximate 100 rounds. Frankford sent me a new one as a replacement right away. Took about 10 days when it showed up on my front porch. That one didnt work at all. I called again to file another claim. The rep told me these intellidroppers theyve moved production to another china facility to be made and with new models coming out next spring. Its been about a month now and ive still yet to receive my replacement. Who knows when ill receive it. in the meantime, i sit here as i type this at my reloading table staring at my new intellidropper that dont work. But it sure is pretty to look at. it just wont dispense nor powder calibrate.
I didn't like the way the scales would drift and needed re-zeroing after dumping your charges. Other than that it seems like a good unit. If I had to say which was a better performing product based on you Frankford Arsenal reviews I liked the Coaxial Press. Thanks again for your content. Really appreciate the product reviews.
Very similar to the RCBS Charge Lite I use. For precision reloading I dispense using the RCBS Lite then move to a Ohaus lab scale good to 0.001g and trickle with a Hornady vibratory trickler any powder missing. I wish you had double checked the charges. I found the Lite not being sufficient precise, at least for me.
@@Quantalume I was wondering that as well, it's very similar to the RCBS CM Lite. My CM Lite has a label that states it was made by Excell Precision. To no surprise, it's a company in China.
only complaint I have is not verifying scale against another scale or two. Other then that I am sold. Will most likely buy one at my local shop tomorrow
Nice unit. Might have to get me one of these bad boys. Just wish they included a large bottle brush to get the remnant powder out of the hopper. That static cling seems to gold on to a bunch of powder.
the guard is creating mega static build up, thats why its throwing the zero off, you need to wash it and de-static is and it'll be fine, or just run it without the guard, same for the powder hopper
Have found static is a problem with the draft shield on my RCBS powder dropper. I go without the cover. Tried dryer sheets with some improvement. RCBS seems to have a standby mode when switched off but plugged in so it seems to stay 'warmed up' and is ready for use when switched on.
Excellent video. Did you have a chance to weigh the charge on a manual scale to check if there was any deviation from the dispenser readout? Also, have you had a chance to test bullet run-out on the M-Press with better brass and dies than your initial overview? Still waiting on the edge of my seat for a precision load comparison of the M-Press, Forster, and MEC Marksman. Thank you so much for all your testing. It gives me the info I need to make an intelligent purchase.
just bought one last weekend and seems to be working great for me so far at least for accuracy...though when punching in numbers on on the mobile app (Android) they do not seem to get transferred to the unit though when it drops powder it can be seen on the app. Unfortunately instructions for the app are lacking so maybe I'm doing something wrong
Sam G. Yes, unfortunately. Only UK has left the union if that is what you are referring to. What does that have to do with the brands of powder we use?
@@Nitro-SmK WELL, YOU PUT IT IN YOUR COMMENT, I WAS JUST ASKING IF CROATIA WAS IN FACT PART OF EUROPEAN UNION!!! I WASN'T SURE THAT SOME OF THE OLD EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES BECAME PART OF EUROPEAN UNION.
Sam G. Some are, some aren't. Croatia and Slovenia are members as they are more West- oriented, while Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania are not. At least not yet, they may become in the future.

First, thank you Gavin for all your excellent videos.
I purchased an Intellidropper scale recently. I've seen comments on this scale drifting. This (at least mine) will begin to drift if left sitting without weighing a charge for more than about 10 minutes. Which IMHO, it shouldn't do. I haven't called Frankford yet, to ask them about it. But the scale automatically zeros before a charge is thrown. That being the case, charge weight accuracy and repeatability shouldn't be a concern. If using the scale by itself for some reason, it would need to be manually zeroed prior to weighing.
Another issue I first noticed in this video and believe I confirmed when I received my unit is, the built-in bubble level is nowhere near accurate on these scales. I thought it may have been the camera angle causing a distorted perception in the video. But now I don't think it is. Gavin's unit appears to be noticeably tilted to the right, from the camera's perspective. My unit tilts very obviously left from the same perspective, when the bubble is perfectly centered. I have a nice little Starrett pocket machinist's level that I used to level the unit properly. I wish I could post a pic of just how far off the bubble level is, when the unit is actually level. But approximately 1/3 of the bubble is actually outside of the line. If you have one of these units, I recommend that you do not rely on the bubble level. Just a couple of FYI comments.
After using a small Franklin Arsenal scale and having big problems with that (as in massive drift to the point of being dangerous) I am not convinced that it’s worth saving $10 over the RCBS chargemaster lite. You even showed it said 6.4 grains then had to trickle up as it was .2 grains off. I really do appreciate your hard work doing the heavy lifting for us Gavin. Keep up the great work.
I have literally been waiting for this powder measure for over a year!
@@leveragelogic9008 Ah, but my money is destined for the just-released Walther Q5 Match classic - I will buy this once my hobby funds are back!

Hello, I'm from the UK and have only used Viht. N140 and N150 to date. N140 works very well with .223" 69gr Sierra Matchking, .308 168gr Sierra Matchking and also 8mm Mauser 196gr - 200gr. The N150 is very well suited to 6.5Creedmoor Lapua Scenar 123gr. At the moment, Nov 2023, it is very difficult to get any which is causing enormous problems. Thank you for your videos, you've given me a wealth of knowledge. Best Regards
Bought this thing and read the reviews cause the most common things will happen. To major issues I had with mine in just 5 months were. 1) buttons on the screen just stopped working, this is in all the reviews. 2) the wifi never connected for me, and call Frankford, they couldn't even get it. They did send me a new one. And after about 7 months, they screen went out again. This is kept on my bench, inside a control indoor room. Hardly ever moved the actual scale. Ended up going with the chargemaster lite and so far it was been incredible. If you are doing precision loads, no matter what you will be confirming all your loads on a manual precision scale.
I finally picked up one of these........ Loving it! Thank you! Gavin.
Hi Gavin,
I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Been following your blog about a few months with much joy.
In Europe VihtaVuori Oy ( Finland) is on the market since 1922 and their gunpowders since 1926 providing the market with high quality products.
Also a great gunpowder for pistol ammunition is Vectan BA 10, made by Nobel Sport ( Germany).
Keep up your positive reviews and enthusiasm over the items you review.
Leave the negative comments to the other channels.
If the critical viewer is not able to see the pro's and con's of a product... He might have a lack of common sense and would likely be better off by buying his ammunition at Walmart. 😉😎😋😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobel Sport is from France, not Germany.
By the way, BA10 is one of the fastest commercial powder, so very tricky and even dangerous. Use it for 25ACP but feel better with BA9 :)
@@MajoPikeras,
You are totally right, sir. 👍.
My mistake....
I was at the same time downloading the reloading data from Dynamit Nobel/ RWS on my laptop and writing this comment on my phone....
Love the BA 10 as it is very economic in use. Need less powder to achieve the same velocity.
It also burns very clean without leaving almost no residue, so cleaning my pistol and the cases is almost as good as no work... 😉.
Thanks Paul, glad to have you viewing from NL !
Paul Jeurissen no worries! I have used plenty of vectan “poudres” but some years ago they start to have big lot to lot variations. BA10 is on the fast side for me, but for sure you get plenty of reloads from a can! There were also very good choices for rifle reloading... never get better speeds with the 222 than with SP7, the TU7000 works in mostly every common cartridge and SP11 was a hotrod for the ‘06... now I’m focused in VV powders and giving some chance to RS also
Have good&safe reloading!
gavintoobe spanish viewer here! ;)
Vihta Vuori powders are rally nice ones! Used for years for Lapua factory ammo.
You may want to try RS powders also (if you have tried RE17 or RE33 you allready did!)
Cheers!
Thank you for your video. You helping to me to be a more detailed reloader.
I was waiting on this review because I wanted a powder dispenser but due to being impatient, and got my tax return, I got the rcbs chargemaster lite and love it. Never needs re-zeroed and never had any under or over charges. I also love the auto function on it and it's fairly quick as well. I wish I would have bought one years ago.
Mine goes over occasionally with Varget. It's around one every 50-100 rounds so I'm not really worried about it. Still a lot better than the original chargemasters I have seen in action.
I love my chargemaster lite. Accurate and fast.
You ever screw up and hit "zero" when it is in auto and the pan isn't under it? I was pretty unhappy with myself lol
@@duckslayer11000 Never had that happen yet. I'll try to be more aware of it in the future. Thanks
@@duckslayer11000 no.
Christian from Sweden here. Vihtvauori is great, I use N150 for 6.5 Creedmoor. The Frankford Intellidropper looks like a more polished version of the Chargemaster Lite. I had a Chargemaster Lite that broke after only a few months of moderate use. The connection between the motor and the dispensing pipe broke down so I am replacing it with an Auto Trickler v2 instead.
Welcome! Glad to have you tuning in from Sweden! :)
Use a used dryer sheet that you would use when drying your close and wipe the inside of your hopper, it will help eliminate that static and keep the powder from clinging to the acrylic cylinder.
Waxing the inside of it will do the trick too.
Thank you for such a detailed video. I just received my intellidropper and your video was extremely helpful. the directions that came with the unit were very descriptive also, combined with your video set up and use was a piece of cake. By the way I love the unit so far. I haven't gotten to the app setup as of yet and only have thrown maybe a dozen loads but the first impression is a thumbs up.
I am from Arizona, Vita is my powder for long range shooting. Extreemly consistent and unmatched accuarcy !
Great video. Just bought one. Can't wait to try it
Fantastic job Gavin. Watching your videos show a no BS review on exactly what to expect.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for a nice video. I setup mine today. After i was finished loading I used the powder drain and brush and it was fairly quick and easy. I had to tip the unit on a 45 degree to make sure all the powder was out of the trickler tube ...
I just paid 149.00 for mine haven't been able to use it yet will be doing so tomorrow doing 41 mags and 556 can't wait to try it out!
This seems like a very nice machine for a good price. Well if it holds up over time I can see this being a good investment. Thank you Gavin for your high quality videos
I noticed that you had static electricity keeping some of the powder sticking to the hopper. I've read that sometimes wrapping a dryer sheet around the hopper (and holding in place with a rubber band) will reduce the amount of static electricity there. I haven't had an occasion to try it yet myself, but I plan to. I just thought this tidbit of information might be helpful.
...glad I found this...I'm fixin' to load .38/.357 for the first time - I've been loading (on & off) since I got home from Germany in 1974 (started on a Rockchucker - which I still have) - I've loaded 9mm & .45 ACP over the years I plan on building different loads for both .38 & 357 with different bullet weights/styles (and powders) and thought an auto measure would make load development easier & quicker than fiddling with standard powder measures (Lee auto disk & Dillon hopper)...I like what I see...once I determine which load (s) I like - I'll set my standard hopper for each on my progressive press...it would certainly make using a single stage much easier...
Just getting into reloading and I’m enjoying your informational videos immensely. Appreciate You, when I get everything I need together I’m feeling more and more comfortable .
Gavin, I really appreciate your review of the Frankford Arsenal M-Press. I picked one up and it performs well for me. Based on what I see here, there may be some gotchas but the price of this powder measure with its features makes this a quick buy for me as well.
Good summary! Glad you like the M-Press!
i use Vihtavuori for years, especially n140 , n150 and n135 ... good stuff
Hi from France, Vitha powders are really interesting, for old military calibres and .308, I use N150 ; for 30-30, 222R I use N133 .
I made this shot with 30-30 loaded with N133 : th-cam.com/video/NNWKV5qg4r0/w-d-xo.html
I use N133 for 6ppc very very very consistent powder
Thanks guys for the info in Vihta!
Note to @gavintoobe. I will be reviewing the Intellidropper on my TH-cam channel too! As an electrical engineer, I can say that the load cell is extremely sensitive and relatively delicate. I would be very cautious in banging the side of the powder dispenser to get the powder to empty out! Great video nonetheless! If you notice that your pan weighs 129.0gr. However, when you were loading the pistol powder, the pan's weight was drifting up to 129.3gr. I always double check the weights against a 2nd scale which is my Ohaus 10-10 balance beam scale.
VV is the most consistent powder you can get according to the bench rest shooters we have over here. N150 is my favorite for 6,5x55 behind our Swedish Norma 130gr DL or Lapua 8g Silver Scenar. Both have given me podium placings on national target shootings and field shootings. :)
I recently purchased an automatic powder dispenser and my decision came down to the new Frankford Arsenal or the RCBS Chargemaster Lite. I like the features of saving load data and using a phone to control the FA, but have heard bad things about the scales and 'cheapness' of other FA products. Being close in price, I chose the RCBS. I keep all my load data in spread sheets anyway, and using the app to control it, just seems gimmicky. You are right there, with the powder drop. It's not like you are across the room trying to dispense powder.
The thing I do like about the FA powder dispenser, that I didnt know about, was the speed at which it dispenses. However, my RCBS has yet to throw an overcharge with over 300rds dispensed. The RCBS maybe a tad slower, but I am more confident in it.
When you say you let it warm up….do you run the motor? Or just plug it in for 30 min?
I would have to see the charges it is throwing put on another known precision scale to verify that it can perform consistently.
Excellent, excellent and informative. Your videos are thoughtful, thorough and enjoyable. Thanks
Great video looks like an fantastic scale thank you for sharing your knowledge I have learned a lot from your channel
You very briefly showed cleaning the unit between powders.
This can be a significant amount of difference between brands to ensure everything is out.
A follow up video on that would be nice to show the level of detail required.
Its not brain surgery, your dealing with mostly smooth surfaces on the inside of the hopper, it pretty much flows out the bottom once u open it..... it literally takes me 45 secs to change powders in my Hornady auto dispenser, empty the hopper, blow the tube out { towards the hopper } empty hopper again......done
I've just landed on this video, very late in the game. I have a Chargemaster 1500 and a Lyman Gen 6 and am always encountering issues like those commented on by some other viewers. I've looked in vain for a seriously consistent scale that doesn't cost a fortune, but that's the point: apart maybe from the legendary (no longer available) GemPro 250, the kind of precision and stability often looked for by the more obsessively precise reloaders among us (I'm one of them) is only available if you're prepared to pay four figure sums for what are essentially laboratory precision balance scales. And even then there are limitations because many do not measure in gn. So ultimately you do get what you pay for.
Anti static dryer sheets are your friend, Gavin! Any electronic scale should be sitting on one and and electronic plastic scale should also be wiped down from time to time with one. You'll be surprised how much better and stable it will operate.
I'll have to try that!
wow these look amazing ,just getting into reloading and love it.its cool to watch someone that makes things really easy to follow,down in NZ by the time stuff reaches us it is very expensive.these dont look to bad price wise down here.great vid and easy to follow
Excellent video and very informative. The powder calibration program is a serious improvement over the competition and should be a real time saver. Thanks
Gravimetric analysis in college chemistry was a hated class by most. I loved it. Back then we had to use a manual scale to measure reaction products to one ten thousandths of a gram. It was in a secure room on granite table and yes it had glass doors protecting the measuring pan. Good times.
hahaha, I have done the power drop from the drain a ton of times, big mess, I feel you. I sold my Chargemaster awhile ago and was in the market for a new one but you sold me. I have almost everything from Frankford so I guess this dispenser will be the next one. I think the powder cal feature is what it sold me
VV N140 is great for 223. In my Tikka T3X Sporter, 25 grains, giving 3,000fps on QL, I get 1 hole accuracy @ 100yds!!! Amazing!
Sorry, I should have said, with a SMK 69gr projectile.
To verify if it's accurate you would need to use another scale. I use my Gem Pro 250 to check my RCBS lite and its accurate. Also RCBS starts to auto dispense once it stabilizes at zero.
Glad I waited... this could be my first Powder Auto-Dispenser Scale. It's nice to know there's No Overcharge throughout your video.
Take Sharpie and on the inside of the powder hopper cover write, "Check the Drain!"
GOOD CALL!!! :)
Great video. I would like to see a comparison video of frankford and rcbs powder dispensers ? ? ?
great video, thank you
You have one of these kotaboy32?
i just bought one on sale a bass pro. got home and did a quick 50 rounds and works perfect
I got one work's great thanks for the heads-up great video
My old digital scale gives me crazy readings if my cell phone is nearby. I noticed you had to re-zero a couple of times when you switched over to blue tooth. I would be inclined to leave my phone on the other side of the room and just work with the scale directly to avoid any possibility of the phone causing issues.
Can't wait to get mine! By contrast my Dillon 550 powder measure wavers from not today thank you to, here's all the powder..
Been using the n140 for over a year now very versatile powder I use it in 223 243 and 308.
In your 223 you can use it from 50gr all the way to 90gr projectiles. I am running 77gr sierra match kings at 2850fps with a 24.4gr charge it's very repeatable especially here in the uk when weather is varied from 0°c to 20°c
Watched the review, bought the product. FA should be proud to have you as a partner. Hope I can figure out why the blue tooth wont pair but even if it doesn't, it is in my opinion far superior to others I have tried, and the price is nice too.
I'm having the same issue
Europe here. N140 is a brilliant powder. Overhere Vihtavuori is considered a top brand.
Thank you very much for the great video. It will help me in my buying decision.
As to the powder: in all of my AR-style 308s the N140 powder delivers the best precision and it burns very clean. Greetings from Germany
Gavin, I love your videos - all of them are beautifully produced and usually contain really useful information.
I understand you are working with the manufacturers and rely on them for demo equipment. Any negative reviews could end up in that supply chain drying up; I get it.
I don't believe for a moment you are giving falsely favourable videos in return for the test kit and also suspect you reject reviewing kit you cannot endorse.
However, when reviewing equipment we really need to know how the items perform both in absolute terms and in comparison to their direct competition. Without this we really are no wiser as to how the products perform. Without the critique and with every review being nothing but positive, your channel is starting to appear as one long infomercial, which is not your intention I'm sure!
In this case, there appeared to be significant stability / wandering zero issues which would make me particularly concerned on the actual powder loads being thrown. It would have been nice to see a reference scale used to check the loads. There were also significant static issues shown when emptying the powder hopper, but you also glossed over this. I know you also use an RCBS Chargemaster where these are not issues and you could have mentioned it and even better done a side by side comparison.
Wish you all the best with the channel.
Kevin- thanks for the feedback. I may in fact do a side-by-side of electronic throwers, that's a great suggestion. In this video, I did make a point to list the pros-cons, and if you read the write-up (see first link in video description) I do mention the issues with tenth-of-grain drift.
Forgot to mention- the static is the same on the RCBS Charge Master Lite units I have- if anyone has a trick (dryer sheet) that actually works to combat this, let me know!
@gavintoob I hope you take this kind hearted comment to heart! We love your channel and it's been great learning from you; but I can't help but disagree with the review. It seems lately everything is getting outstanding reviews. Hope you understand.
@@arnolddarkschner9010 I concur. It's nice to be able to demo the products, but it's now incumbent on us to watch every video to judge for ourselves which of the competition is most likely to fit our needs. It would be nice, for instance, to know if the scale within the Intellidropper is both externally and internally consistent. That is, if you measure out 50 grains of powder with the FA, would your fancy expensive scale come to the same conclusion? If it's not externally consistent, then there are issues with that.
Wipe the tube down with a little bounce. Great vids!!!!!
Great thorough review, Gavin. You made a sale since I was on the fence between RCBS and Hornady and this seems much faster and quieter than either of them.
Hank I would still get the rcbs chargemaster. It has worked great for me over the past year and a half. No need for the machine to learn the powder. It charges any of them just fine. Frankford stuff looks great at first but doesn’t last.
@@Jon-rn8sl The old one or the RCBS Chargemaster Lite ?
@@Jon-rn8sl I HAVE SPOKEN TO A LOCAL RELOADING STORE OWNER AND HE SAID THE RCBS IS THE WAY TO GO.
I'm from the UK - Vihtavuori has a well-respected range of powders here, especially now there are new H&S regulations that effectively banned some powders from the USA. Also, It's really hard these days to get hold of some really popular powders like Varget because the manufacturer struggles to keep up with domestic demand, let alone producing significant export volume!
Gavin I purchased an Intellidropper today and went through the process of setting it up. I let the unit sit for over 45 minutes. Problem I have and I sent an email to Frankford Arsenal is that all the numbers appear on the touch screen when selected except for numbers 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Thanks Gavin, just sold the old Hornady and got this.
Hi Gavin im using the Bacherie and Pelagrie Powder for the 308 ist an Italien Power Works well
I have one of these and have had major issues with scale creeping. I have allowed it to warm up from 10 minutes to 10 hours. I have left it go and it keeps adding.1 every few minutes. Looks like he is having the same issue but maybe doesn’t want to call it out
If you epoxy a wing nut to the open/close valve, it becomes very easy to use.
Congrats - from Brazil !
Thank you. I was leaning towards the RCBS Lite but not happy with the 9mm loading speed. I believe this could be the one. I have been using a Hornady Auto Charger now for 5 years and I love it. No problems at all until I got a power bump and there went my PCB. So I am willing to try something new.
I had an issue with a lyman scale. The scale would drift and then it wouldnt reliable turn on or off. It only had issues when running on AC. The AC checked out with a multimeter but it looked like it was noisy. I tried a benchtop power supply and the scale was drifting like crazy. Looks like the scale is very sensitive to noisy power supplies... I had heard that voltage variations would change readings. I removed the jack on the scale and replaced it with a USB plug so I could use USB power supply... it now runs reliably.
Just purchased one ,22,250 loader using VHIT N140 I'm in Scotland so hope it comes with the power adapter
Hi there. How are you getting on with yours? I am also in Scotland, loading for 22-250. And I am looking at one of these
This seems like an ok scale if you are loading 20 rounds at a sitting and want super accuracy for power on the high end of rounds but a very slow method if you are reloading in bulk. Accurate scales will jump around as they are very sensitive. I am going to use a very sensitive baking scale in the upper mid cost range that measures in grains with unit conversion features to calibrate a mounted manual powder dispenser.
That definitely looks like a good unit and I like the speed in which it throws! I probably wouldve went with that one over my RCBS Charge Master 1500 although my RCBS is a great thrower also just expensive!!! Great video GT!
I saw that the rtz was out a few times, was that a problem that was frequent or not? Also I noticed that the loads weren't checked on a high precision scale to test for accuracy. Would be worth doing to check how good the scale is.
Good suggestion on high-precision scale! I'll look at that for future articles/videos...
@@Ultimatereloader Thanks for the reply!
One thing that would have been good to demonstrate is the AUTO mode. I use this mode almost exclusively. You simply press the mode button and AUTO appears in the upper left corner of the display. You key in a powder weight and hit the start button. When it's ready, you remove the pan and do whatever you do with the powder. When you place the pan back on the scale, in about 3 seconds it "auto" starts dispensing another load.
Hi, I bought this on your recommendation plus i got 20% off. Having problems with hooking up the app to the unit. Called 1800 number but still wont come together. Unit is a bit bulky, but the price is right, very sensitive, but also very accurate and quick!
Great review, Gavin. I always learn a lot from your videos
I`m from Denmark and normally use the Vita N150 powder when reloading, and are very satisfied with it`s preformance.
Stay dry!
Kind regards
Claus “Claude” S. Andersen
Welcome- glad to have you joining us from Denmark!
Gavin have you ever noticed when a phone or iwatch is near the scale they start to get a bit finicky? My Hornady digital scale will tend to bounce around .2, .1 then zero. Idk if it’s phone waves(not sure if that’s real) creating but when I remove any cellular device or put it a good distance away I get much better results. Just wondering if you’ve had the same results
I'd like to see a series of the loads thrown by the Intellidropper weighed on a supper accurate scale to see how consistent they are. I've been looking hard at scales recently and I'm finding the strain gauge type scales can drift a lot, especially the little battery ones, they'll drive you nuts trying to use them. Better quality ones do work well. I have a "lab" scale by Vevor ($116.99 on Amazon), while it is a strain gauge unit, after 30-45 minutes of warm up, it is consistent to 1/100th of a grain (0.01). The best you can get is an "analytical" lab balance that uses an electromagnet to measure the resistance to the load. They are much more precise and accurate...but they are incredibly expensive...usually thousands of dollars.
I like the idea of an automated dropper that is quick to get to a given point then using the Dandy vibrating trickler clone I made to get things as precise as possible on my lab scale. Still, if an auto dropper can be very precise, then that would save time and steps, so I'd be curious to see the consistency of the Intellidropper on a more consistent and accurate scale as a comparison.
The Pact dispenser, which was first introduced in the late 90's used powder calibration. Mine is still fast and accurate after all these years. Electronic powder measures have added touch screens and app interfaces, but basically, very little has changed.
i have the rcbs one and just turn it in and go, never experienced any drift and never had to level it either, just sayin Gavin
Can you do a complete comparison between the main choices when buying a scale of this type. Maybe a scale shootout like you did the reloading press shootout. I would like to get one of these soon. Thanks and keep up the good work
Your like Batman! You always have the best toys!
i have to alert my fellow reloader friends out there about this powder dispenseer. My initial one defaulted after one loading session of 44 mag approximate 100 rounds. Frankford sent me a new one as a replacement right away. Took about 10 days when it showed up on my front porch. That one didnt work at all. I called again to file another claim. The rep told me these intellidroppers theyve moved production to another china facility to be made and with new models coming out next spring. Its been about a month now and ive still yet to receive my replacement. Who knows when ill receive it. in the meantime, i sit here as i type this at my reloading table staring at my new intellidropper that dont work. But it sure is pretty to look at. it just wont dispense nor powder calibrate.
Hallo cal 3006 are missing? Why is there shutgun cal not in the libery ?
I didn't like the way the scales would drift and needed re-zeroing after dumping your charges. Other than that it seems like a good unit. If I had to say which was a better performing product based on you Frankford Arsenal reviews I liked the Coaxial Press. Thanks again for your content. Really appreciate the product reviews.
Very similar to the RCBS Charge Lite I use. For precision reloading I dispense using the RCBS Lite then move to a Ohaus lab scale good to 0.001g and trickle with a Hornady vibratory trickler any powder missing. I wish you had double checked the charges. I found the Lite not being sufficient precise, at least for me.
I'd be willing to bet that this and the RCBS ChargeMaster Lite are made in the same Chinese factory.
@@Quantalume I was wondering that as well, it's very similar to the RCBS CM Lite. My CM Lite has a label that states it was made by Excell Precision. To no surprise, it's a company in China.
Good video. Can you put side to side with rcbs and others powder dispenser and check speed, accuracy, easy operating, …. Like you usually do full data
only complaint I have is not verifying scale against another scale or two. Other then that I am sold. Will most likely buy one at my local shop tomorrow
Nice unit. Might have to get me one of these bad boys. Just wish they included a large bottle brush to get the remnant powder out of the hopper. That static cling seems to gold on to a bunch of powder.
Great video enjoy learning about all the new stuff.
the guard is creating mega static build up, thats why its throwing the zero off, you need to wash it and de-static is and it'll be fine, or just run it without the guard, same for the powder hopper
It shouldn't need zeroing so often. Did you check its dispensed weight against another scale?
Gavin could you please review how to connect Bluetooth ?
Have found static is a problem with the draft shield on my RCBS powder dropper. I go without the cover. Tried dryer sheets with some improvement. RCBS seems to have a standby mode when switched off but plugged in so it seems to stay 'warmed up' and is ready for use when switched on.
Excellent video. Did you have a chance to weigh the charge on a manual scale to check if there was any deviation from the dispenser readout? Also, have you had a chance to test bullet run-out on the M-Press with better brass and dies than your initial overview? Still waiting on the edge of my seat for a precision load comparison of the M-Press, Forster, and MEC Marksman. Thank you so much for all your testing. It gives me the info I need to make an intelligent purchase.
just bought one last weekend and seems to be working great for me so far at least for accuracy...though when punching in numbers on on the mobile app (Android) they do not seem to get transferred to the unit though when it drops powder it can be seen on the app. Unfortunately instructions for the app are lacking so maybe I'm doing something wrong
Thanks Eric Austin, Good to know.
that powerd is about the only thing found in our stores, use 340 for 38sp and 357
Can you tell me the cleanup procedure for after you are done with a reloading session. What do you do with the bits of leftover powder in the unit?
Hello from Croatia. (yes, that is in Europe)
We do love our Vihtavuori powders. I mostly use N320 for precision pistol loads.
ARE YOU PART OF EUROPEAN UNION NOW??!!
Sam G. Yes, unfortunately. Only UK has left the union if that is what you are referring to. What does that have to do with the brands of powder we use?
@@Nitro-SmK WELL, YOU PUT IT IN YOUR COMMENT, I WAS JUST ASKING IF CROATIA WAS IN FACT PART OF EUROPEAN UNION!!! I WASN'T SURE THAT SOME OF THE OLD EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES BECAME PART OF EUROPEAN UNION.
Sam G. Some are, some aren't. Croatia and Slovenia are members as they are more West- oriented, while Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania are not. At least not yet, they may become in the future.
@@Nitro-SmK cool, thanks for the info!👍
Thank you for doing this review. So which is better. This one or the RCBS lite?
This seems to be very similar to the RCBS chargemaster lite, but the app seems gimmicky to me. I have the RCBS and it doesn't zero drift as much.
