I use a Redding. Real handy with H4831, 4350, ect.
The plastic Lyman and RCBS I had to chase around on the loading table, not so with the Redding. |

Hmmmmmmm.... My RCBS trickler has a metal container and turning rod with a weighted plastic resin bottom. I've never had big problems with it sliding around. Same same with the Redding as far as sliding around goes
The best trickler that I ever had was an old Ohaus trickler that I gave to one of my sons. I'm not sure if you can still buy them, but a quick check might be in order before you buy. IIRC, it weighed just slightly less than a pound (13-14 oz) and it was rock slid with a wide base. -BCB

Same response as BCB. I've not had any issues with the RCBS sliding around. Works great.

The RCBS trickler that I own is the one shown in this link. Maybe RCBS made a plastic one at some point in time, and if they did, this is not it. And the one that I own is not the same one that Dean2 shows in his post.

Am I the only one who uses their fingers to trickle in powder. I find it much faster. I have the RCBS and the Dandy (bought when it cost a lot less) but still use my fingers for extruded powder. Ball powder my Harrells throw close enough I don't need to trickle.

I've never tried my fingers for a trickler, but a Harrell's does indeed limit the need for a trickler, especially for larger volume cases for me.
For small caliber small cases (17 and 20) I still like to throw a short charge with the Harrell's and trickle to the final weight. That's just me being anal, but many folks use a Harrell's to throw exact charges for any cartridge, which it is indeed capable of doing. -BCB

As another comment, I load almost everything (38Spl to 45-70) with a Dillon 550B and use the Dillon measures. Have three sizes of powder bars, and once you set them up for your load, they are very stable and consistent also, although I don't often use long or thick stick powders. I rarely use a single stage press, and mostly when doing small numbers of load development rounds on rifle cartridges.

Treaded tube tricklers are simple devices. You really can't go wrong. Just pick one made of metal & get to loading!

I use the aluminum RCBS trickler, it's hollow base is filled with cast bullet lead. A sheet metal screw keeps the two together. It sits on a 3/4 inch ply wood stand that gives the beam scale's pan a bit more clearance. I also do quite a bit of my reloading on a Dillon 550. Almost all of my big game rifles use the various IMR stick powders (a hazard of learning reloading in the 70's) and I don't like the Dillon powder measures with them. So I use the Dillon series 500 powder die and the plastic funnel and weigh these rifles charges. I'm not loading these in volume and at least I trust things this way.

I have a trickler, like the Redding, but I prefer to use a .270 or .30/06 case with spent primer inserted. Rolling the case between finger and thumb dribbles out powder very nicely.
