Love the method and consistency for target loads! 2 questions, at around what grains of that powder would you start with (im looking to switch from vv310 to get more bulk) How would you anneal if you did not have the AMP? :)

I would love to pick your brain about how to export this info quickly. You did a great job explaining all this in a easy to follow manner.

Metallic Cartridge reloading, on bottom right of page 6, states - accidents do happen in handloading, either at the bench or with the firing of dangerous handloads. Loading one's own ammunition at home is not a lot different than the assembly of cartridges in a large ammunition factory, the primary difference being the degree of care, caution, or whatever name by which common sense may be known. Shooter's Bible Guide To Handloading, in the "Introduction", on the bottom left of page X, states - Handloading requires a bit of study. because handloading puts you close to things that could impair or abbreviate your life, you're smart to mind these caveats: Yes you can handload at home, but ... Handload only if you can honestly claim a reasonable level of intelligence, proof of which is your willingness to read all caveats twice, take them to heart, and admit in all humility that, no matter how long you've been shooting or how many times you've pumped a press handle, you do not know all there is to know about handloading. And won't ever. Metallic Cartridge reloading, on bottom right of page 16, states - ignorance can get even the most careful of men into trouble if there is some key element that he needs to watch closely and cautiously but he knows nothing about it. Lyman 51st Handloading Handbook, at the bottom left of page 60, states - CAUTION: Static electricity may cause primers to explode. Hodgdon Powder No. 27 Data Manual, section 6-10, under "Handling Primers" states - They demand the respect and careful handling due any device containing explosives. Primers should never be handled, used, ... in bulk, since primers in bulk can explode simultaneously. ... ... ... Precautions should be taken to avoid buildup of static electricity on the person when handling primers or conducting handloading procedures. Loading equipment should be electrically grounded. Speer Handloading Manual Number 15, on page 41, states - Static electricity and the Reloader 1. Static electricity can be highly hazardous for the reloader. 2. primers are most sensitive to static charges. The energy is enough to ignite primer dust in and around priming tools. The dust can ignite and propagate to all the primers in the tube [or tray]. The result is a serious explosion. This is the reason to keep those tubes [and trays] clean! 3. Static charges prefer low humidity environments. take some simple precautions. a. Use a humidifier. b. remove carpets from reloading areas. This is the prime source of static energy accidents. c. Clean the reloading area on a schedule. Routine cleaning removes residues of primers and propellants that can react to static energy. d. Use an anti-static product. Reloader's Guide - Complete, Fully Illustrated Step-By-Step Guide to Handloading Ammunition, on page 129, under Common Reloading Problems states - Plastic powder funnels often pick up a far amount of static electricity ... ... ... this is annoying because powder granules stick to the side of the funnel, and you have to keep tapping the funnel to remove the last granule of powder. [Yes, one big hassle? And tapping on the funnel for the next 50 years could give one Reloader's wrist! I kid you not.] Metallic Cartridge reloading, on bottom right of page 11, states - One deadly enemy of the handloader is static electricity, which lurks constantly around anything plastic. An aluminum powder funnel avoids the problem of static electricity generated by the sliding of powder granules across its inner face. However, only Pacific makes aluminum powder funnels. The other makers use plastic, and these can cause erratic powder charges, some of which are excessive. Lyman 51st Handloading Handbook, on pages 30 and 40, states - Lyman lab technicians have observed a potential serious phenomenon involving mechanical powder scales, plastic loading blocks, Styrofoam packaging, and other objects made of plastic. These materials sometimes retain static electric charge, enough to create an electro-static field of varying radii. This electro-static field has proven capable of causing radical deflection of uncharged and zeroed scales. Dependent upon circumstances, powder in the scale pan tends to dampen the amount of deflection by varying degrees. We strongly urge that the loading bench be cleared before setting up the scale. Then replace equipment one piece at a time while observing the scale pointer. Any item that causes a scale deflection should be removed from the reloading bench. The ABCs of Reloading 10th Edition, upon top left of page 161, under "Environmental Conditions" states - conditions that can compromise your safety or loaded ammunition's integrity. static electricity which is never a good thing around powder. Modern Reloading Second Edition Richard Lee Revised 2021, about the bottom half of page 85, under the heading "What are the causes of excessive pressure?" states - "It seems that some shooters were experiencing hot loads from what should have been quite safe. With much detective work, they found the problem occurred only when loading from the bench and immediately firing the round. Ammunition loaded away from the range worked fine. They discovered that the normal jostling of travel reduced the pressure to correct levels. Accurate recommends that ammunition loaded at the shooting bench be rolled back and forth a couple of times to rearrange the powder granules." [Rolling the cartridges around releases the static charge in the powder due to the use of plastic powder thrower reservoirs, plastic dippers, plastic powder pans, plastic funnels, and even plastic loading blocks, as well as any and all plastic primer trays. One should also avoid plastic laminated counter tops too.] Here is one from a Black Powder Manual, in case anyone is thinking about using plastic stuff to handle Black Powder. SPG Lubricants, BP Cartridge Reloading Primer: Chapter 1 - Powder, page 22 - WARNING: "BLACK POWDER IS CONSIDERED AN EXPLOSIVE AND IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO SPARKS OR STATIC ELECTRICITY. ITS USE WITH PLASTIC FUNNELS OR POWDER MEASURE HOPPERS IS TO BE AVOIDED. HEED ALL WARNINGS FOUND ON THE CANS OF BLACK POWDER." So Plastic tools around Black Powder is an extreme no no, and should never be done, period! So why buy a cheap plastic funnel for smokeless powders only to turn around and have to buy a descent aluminum funnel later on when one decides to do black powder too. And yes according to many manuals static electricity can be a highly hazardous - deadly enemy - to the reloader of which can compromise the integrity of their smokeless powder ammunition and even explode modern primers, as quoted previously, endangering their lives. A senior ballistician [who will remain nameless at this point] currently working for Hornady (in a Hornady pod cast here on UA-cam) tells a story about a reloader,, in his teenage neighborhood, that is no longer here with us and the house is gone as well. The fire marshal had declared static electricity to be the culprit that ignited the explosion. KABOOM! Another one bites the dust (very possibly a primer dusting incident laced with static electricity that is)! Yet just the pure hassle of having to wipe plastic tools down all the time as well as having to remove them from the reloading bench when using powder scales is simply the last straw in my book. I mean why bother when there are aluminum funnels, wooden loading blocks, metal powder pans, etc... Some may live in a high humidity area of which they have no issues with static electricity, but for them (through cognizant dissidence) to tell others, that may actually live in lower humidity areas where static electricity abounds, not to worry about such just because they never had any issues with static electricity would be irresponsible. Again no matter how long one has been reloading the people that make the manuals have far more knowledge of the situation than they ever will. Be safe and read the manuals.Illustrated

What a fantastic set of video thank you very much for all your hard work, I can just imagine how long all the computer and video editing must have taken. I hope in the near future to buy a 6.5 tac a1 and will be very interested in the off lands load in this rifle. Once again thank you for all your hard work. Steve.

I can't wait to get mine but the web site says September 😢. But I did get the AnD FX120i. Looking forward to getting this trickler.

I have two Lee Collet Neck Dies and initially the collet would get stuck after substantial use and stick inside of the upper part. As long as I kept using the same cases with similar neck wall thickness it still functioned. Then I sanded the outside of the collet with that 1500 sandpaper (black) after I applied some water on the paper and removed all that excess grungy material on the surface and also inside of the upper part and now the collet doesn't stick anymore. Why I have two dies is because I removed the primer pin from one of the dies so when the neck wasn't set properly and the bullet did not seat properly all I have to do is remove the bullet and powder and resize the case neck without removing the primer.

Love your videos, I haf the tikka tx3 tac a1 I am not a reloader, and have been trying different amo the best i have come up with is the Barnes 55gr trx any tips on loads for me, mainly warmint hunting range 1-300m

Well done video. Can't understand why more high accuracy shooters have not discovered the precision that the lee collet neck die produces. Someone else noted that if you use the Lee Collet with a Redding body sizing die you have an excellent case with almost zero run out when properly adjusted. I agree and have been doing so for some years now.

Smart it would be even better if you could hear commands to add an amplifier and a speaker.

I realized this is quite an old video but I had to make comments on it. For what it is that Lee collet die is actually quite functional. I have had it iron out neck concentricity issues without having turn necks which is quite nice. But that is essentially the effect you are getting. It ironed out your necks. I shoot in the heavy 1000yd benchrest class here in Central Texas and I have used that die for competitive ammo. We were so resistant to doing any formal sizing on our brass, that we would have to beat our bolts closed with mallets to retain a good case dimension after using the Lee die several times. Now I use a full set of custom Wilson dies but I like that Lee die and I have never used the Hornady die so I can't speak for it. But I think I paid $16US for my Lee die. You can't even get a good pizza for that right now 😁. Cheers man!

Is the bipod as good as it looks in thst forend ?

Thanks so much for the series, good stuff. I thought you mentioned a follow-on video but I don't see it. Are you planning to make one?

Any news on the follow up video for this? How to mix your own etc? Thanks.

You sir are dialed!

can you share your excel spreadsheet you developed? Amazing and well done sir!

That was an awesome video thanks for that … annealing 🤔 pistol brass interesting and can I say WoW to your heavy crimp ahhh man I think I’m going to try this out thanks for the info

When will it be available for purchase?

I’m kinda pissed since I haven’t had a V4 that long…. But take my money please. Lol

I ordered one. Will put up a review once I get it. Any idea of weight?

Nobody should still be using Facebook. It's a shame the Supertrickler folks chose it as their only means of communication.

what is the lead time?

When are these shipping?

At 675.00 US, vs 490.00US for the V4, it's up to cosmetics and a very few features that the AT4 doesn't have.. Maybe it will handle the long sticks a bit better, the cleanout doesn't turn my crank, much the same method as a Matchmaster, which a person does not have to buy an A&D to go with. As I have the V4, not inspired to run out and buy this. For the amount of over/under I get on the V4, I'm not worried about it. The difference in price can go towards the Ingenuity trickler down the road, if I want one.

looks really cool. May be my Christmas present to myself. :)

Very cool unit. I wish I could afford something like that. Could you tell me where you got the aluminum cup?

I would love to do a review of your new trickler on my channel! I already have the FX120i scales.

Looking great! Working on my own fx-120i Trickler as well similar to this one but a bit different concept. The reason is the Autotrickler is too expensive, and it is fun to do it myself!

Any $ points now

Man.. looks amazing... I would love to test one 😉.. I hope the price is reasonable

Anyone that wants better than +-.02 can't shoot and must be a real joy to be around

2 things I don't like, first is having to remove the whole unit to empty the powder. 2nd is the powder cup needs a longer handle so your not reaching your hand into the housing. When will this unit be available for purchase? I would like to compare this to my V3 with Ingenuity Precision trickler.

That bullet looks like a face

This is a great series and hope to see much more!

Really enjoyed your Tikka series. Would you tell me the brand/model of the rear bag lift that you are using? Thanks

well done.if you enjoy what you do great, terry australia.

I have never considered annealing 45 colt brass, but if you're getting that many loads from the brass...as expensive as brass is these days I'm finding it intriguing!

Great video Adam, thank you. I was interested to observe you talk about OAL rather than CBTO ( Cartridge base to ogive) since it's the ogive that is going to contact the lands not the tip of the projectile, I would have thought for more reliable consistency the CBTO would provide a better result. I found quite a variation in the measurement of the projectile when measured boat tail to meplat.

Very informative.

Hi Mate, all fine and dandy, but can you also show or link code for the Raspberry and App. Thx alot

This is one of the best precision reloading videos I've seen. this channel is highly underrated!

great video, looking forward buying this rifle, just looking for a good scope

Lovely a lot of work tho

Nice detailed video, interested in your cleaning process for your tikka

One of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Extreme detail and excellent video quality went into the making. Please keep these coming. Lots can be learned from videos such as these.

nice and clearly explained, thanks learning a lot - getting my head around the planning and process

Thanks for showing the development process so clearly.

How are you liking your Tikka T3X ? I’ve got a tikka T3X UPR in 308, and I’m getting a T3X Tac A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor, a guy in my club has the same rifle as yours I think those rifles are amazing

Hi Kevin. Thank you for sharing with us. This is one of the more thoughtful and informative load development video series that I have seen. I appreciate the considerable time and effort you have put into it. The production values and editing are top notch and I am definitely looking forward to more of it, especially at longer ranges. Do the longer OAL rounds still fit in the factory magazine, and if so, do they feed reliably? What type and height scope rings are you using? You may have said this, but I missed it.

Great info Adam. Short and sweet!! Any change on Sharing the excel sheet?

A very interesting series of videos. Also how do you find the H2 mod, is it effective. Thanks
