Title: Automatic shot dispenser for reloading
Post by: JohnSouth22 on March 21, 2022, 05:17:21 PM
To my knowledge there isn't a automatic  shotgun shot dispenser. They do have crude manual ones that don't allow one to get very exact. Does anyone know otherwise? Could you possibly rig a powder dispenser to dispense shot or would the density differences between the powder and tungsten be too great? Preciate any responses

When loading TSS weigh every load no exceptions.

I think your misunderstanding the question. Automatic dispensers weigh every load to .01 gram specificity. They would be weighed

I agree with ol bob...I weigh everything out. I only load about 20-30 shells at a time max though.

I load 5-10 at a time, so I weigh each load by hand. It's my after supper chill time in the man-cave.. a little music, and sometimes a little bourbon.

I have two balance beam scales.... A 500 grain and a 1000 grain scale. I leave the 500 grain scale on the bench for weighing powder and buffer. I will bring the 1000 grain scale up to my living room and weigh out shot charges while listening to the news. I put each shot charge in a small Dixie cup ( about double the size of a shot glass) . They stack well- with the shot inside them. I do the shot ahead of time so when I am going through the steps of loading- it is a time saver at the bench
