Here's a tip for you reloaders.

Years ago I took my powder trickler and replaced the handle with a pulley. I found a geared motor with a pulley from a small toy that turned the shaft at a comfortable rate and used D-cells to power it and a door bell button to turn it off and on.

I "throw" each charge just shy of the weight that is desired into the pan of the scale and the trickler is already in place, so I just push the button to trickle the remainder until the scale balances. This idea isn't patent pending so help yourself and make one of your own...
