SAFETY

Reloading is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby that can be
conducted safely. But, as with any hobby, carelessness or
negligence can make reloading hazardous. This product has
been designed from the beginning with the user's safety in mind.
When reloading, safety rules must be followed. By observing
these rules, the chance of a hazardous occurrence causing
personal injury or property damage is minimized.

GENERAL

• Use all equipment as the manufacturer recommends. Study
the instructions carefully and become thoroughly familiar with
the operation of the product. If you do not have written
instructions, request a copy from the equipment manufacturer.

• Do not take short cuts. Attempting to bypass established
procedures is an invitation to an accident.

• Observe "good housekeeping" in the reloading area. Keep
tools and components neat, clean and orderly. Promptly and
completely clean up primer and powder spills.

• Reload only when you can give your undivided attention. Do
not reload when fatigued or ill, or under the influence of
medications or alcohol.

• Develop a reloading routine to avoid mistakes which may
prove hazardous. Do not rush - load at a leisurely pace.

• Always wear adequate eye protection to protect your eyes
from flying particles. You assume unnecessary risk when
reloading without wearing safety glasses.

LOADING DATA

• Use only laboratory tested reloading data. We highly
recommend the current SPEER Reloading Manual.

• OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS ABOUT THE USE OF
MAXIMUM LISTED LOADS

INTRODUCTION

The Powder Trickler-2 has been designed to work with both
mechanical and electronic scales. The adjustable height base
and extended reach dispensing tube are guaranteed to reach the
powder pan of most powder scales. The weighted base and non­skid feet keep the Trickler from moving around during
dispensing.

Outers Crud Cutter to remove oils or solvents.

USE

Unscrew the lower portion of the Adjustable Base until the
desired powder dispensing tube height is achieved. The
dispensing tube should be ¼” or greater above the scale pan.

Fill the Powder Trickler reservoir with smokeless powder and
turn the dispensing tube clockwise to start the flow of powder.

Place the Powder Trickler onto the Adjustable base, align the
Powder Dispensing tube with the “SCALE” marking on the upper
portion of the Adjustable base. Alignment of the dispensing tube
with the “SCALE” mark adds a slight draft(taper) to speed the
trickling process. Secure the three socket head set screws in the
upper base.

At the end of the reloading session, pour the remaining
smokeless powder back into the original factory container. This
will preserve the identity and shelf life of the smokeless powder.

MAINTENANCE

Periodically clean powder trickler tubes and body. Use alcohol or
Outers Crud Cutter to remove oils or solvents.

Clean Powder Trickler when changing powders to prevent
contamination. Pay special attention to the interior of the powder
trickler tube and insure that there is no powder from the previous
session stuck inside the tube.
