Powder Cup – For Autotrickler and Similar Lab Balances
$55.00
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″.

Good concept, will score it as soon as I get it!

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.
ericbciphone (verified owner) –
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.
Richard Byars (verified owner) –
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.

Good size, very good haptic.
Derrick Crabtree (verified owner) –
The screw was loose and the handle would move freely. Alittle bit of glue and it works fine.

This thing is awesome! Many powder cups are so small that you have a hard time grabbing ahold of the cup worrying you might accidentally spill your powder that you just weighed. Not with this powder cup! There is a large handle that makes this thing the perfect addition to my A&D FX120i scale. It does sit a little higher then your typical powder cup so if you’re not running an autotrickler then you’ll want to make a base for your normal trickler as they won’t sit high enough with it on your scale. Other than that, you won’t regret purchasing this powder cup.

Nice product.

Perfect match with the straw replacement. No more powder splashing out of the cup.
Kyle Marsh (verified owner) –
I purchased to minimize the over splash of powder. Still need the centering tray to maximize this benefit (they are out of stock right now or i would have it.)
Jon P. (verified owner) –
I like everything about this with one exception, it would be nice if the handle wasn’t at a 90 degree angle to the cup, rather a slight upward, a bend like some silverware or just moving the handle half way up the cup would be helpful to give users more finger room when inserting it into tight spaces.

High quality and solves the bouncing powder problem inherent to the shot glass style cups
Jim Laverty (verified owner) –
Quality built
Royston Wheller (verified owner) –
Product well please with the design and finish. Cost is just pitched right but living in UK shipping costs do hit you but apart from that it stop me doing business again.
Richard S. (verified owner) –
This is my second cup. Got it so I can be filling one cup on the scale while dumping the other cup. Really speeds up charging cases.
Jeanne R. (verified owner) –
Well made at a fair price, and as always, great care taken in packaging and shipping. Perfect, as always.
Patrick M. (verified owner) –
Had some issues at first with the cup holding static. But after washing with warm soapy water and rubbing a dryer sheet on it, it’s the best damn powder cup i’ve used. No more powder splashing out, no more small dinky handles, it’s everything you want and more in a powder cup.

Pick up two cups and they are legit!!!

Definitely easier to use

Great product… isn’t that what you would expect from Area 419? In addition, I bought their master funnel kit as well. Top notch stuff. Not cheap but, you get what you pay for.
Matt Craddock (verified owner) –
Area 419 is NO joke! Fastest shipping I have ever experienced. If everyone else in the industry would follow their lead the world would be a better place!!

no more grains that pop out

Much better design for use with the V3 Autotrickler system…. handle located on lower half of cup makes it much easier to slide in and out of scale without bumping trickler or scale….and less powder splash resulting in scale zeroing issues 🙂

Awesome

Very well made but I liked the one that comes with the Auto Trickler a little better

I found this powder cup to be perfect for my needs. I use an A&D 120i scale for measuring my powder and this cup fits perfectly between the top of the scale and the plate. I also use a Dandy Trickler for loads and put both, the cup and trickler tube through the same wind screen opening. The powder cup it self is great. It’s very light and is deep enough to keep powder from bouncing out. And the handle is the perfect length for getting the cup to the center of the plate on my scale. I’m waiting on the V3 Auto Trickler system to arrive, which will make reloading a lot easier. Until then, this powder cup is making everything work perfectly. If you are on the fence about getting one like I was, do your self a favor and get it. I know it’s expensive, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. And this is worth it.

Big improvement over the cup that comes with the auto trickler. The longer handle is great.

Nicely made

Works pretty well with AT platen in place. Probably works better with Area 419 type. My only gripe is smaller, finer powder and ball powder still tends to spill some.

Quality products, way above expectations.
