Powder Cup – For Autotrickler and Similar Lab Balances
$70.00
At Area 419 we became frustrated with undersized or cheap-feeling powder cups. As the Auto-Trickler system became more popular, and the Auto-Throw system was added, we needed something that was up to the task from both a function and form standpoint.
Introducing, the Area 419 Billet Powder Cup. Lathe spun from billet 6061 Aluminum and weighing in at just over 700 grains this cup has a water weight capacity of more than 750 grains and will allow you to throw nearly three full 50BMG loads into the cup at once.
Of course you aren’t going to triple-charge a 50 cal like an idiot, but the over-sized cup will contain powder and splash from dispensers that are dropping powder from above, provided you use them with some sort of flow-slowing device (like the straws that come in the Auto-Throw kit). Nothing short of about a 5″ cup can contain splash if you’re dropping from above with no restriction.
It can also function as a shot glass for you deplorables out there, but that’s not why we designed it.
Cup is roughly 2″ in diameter and 2″ tall. The handle sticks out about 3″.

Well, what do you think?

This cup is awesome! The machining is first rate and the smooth round bottom of the cup will eliminate “powder bounce” if you adjust the straw correctly. I have not used it with every type of powder but I have no reason to think I can’t adjust the “trickler” to make powder bounce a non issue.

FYI, adjust your straw drop tube to have a significant bend to slow powder down and direct the output to the lower 1/3 of the cup to create a sort of “swirled”
This will eliminate the powder bounce completely

This cup is frickin awesome. It pretty much eliminates powder bouncing out, and has more weight than the plastic cup so it’s more stable and harder to spill. Works great with the billet base for the trickler when the straw is adjusted like the last reviewer said. It seems like it makes the autothrowertrickler run faster, and I know it runs better because there’s less static. Great product!

Fantastic product. This is an absolute must have item. No more powder splashing out of the flimsy plastic cup.

I was previously using a stainless steal 1/4cup from a set of measuring cups. I had to cut the handle down for it to balance on it’s own. While I did not see any issues in accuracy, it definitely took a couple extra seconds on every throw to settle. With the Area 419 cup my Auto-Trickler set up now throws charges faster than I can seat bullets. The reloading flow is never interrupted waiting for the scale to finish. This cup doesn’t wobble at all and the powder settles instantly. Once again leaning on Area 419 has lead to another very satisfying purchase that I have 0 complaints about! Thanks again guys and thank you for listening to us! Keep filling the market gaps!

All of the above reviews are right! All that I have had to do is adjust my technique for the powder cup placement & pickup on the scale. Once there, no worries!

Excellent addition to the Autotrickler and Autothrow.

I bought two! With very little filing I got them both to the same weight. Now I am charging a case with one while the other fills. The cups along with the centering tray really sped up the case charging while maintaining the accuracy. No buyers remorse.
