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″.

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

    • Jon (store manager) –

      Well, what do you think?

  2. ericbciphone (verified owner) –

    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.

  3. 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

  4. cfreeman (verified owner) –

    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!

  5. Shane Weaver (verified owner) –

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

  6. marinekoclr37 (verified owner) –

    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!

  7. Dennis (verified owner) –

    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!

  8. John (verified owner) –

    Excellent addition to the Autotrickler and Autothrow.

  9. 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.

  10. Walter R. (verified owner) –

    Good size, very good haptic.

  11. Derrick Crabtree (verified owner) –

    The screw was loose and the handle would move freely. Alittle bit of glue and it works fine.

  12. Tommy R. (verified owner) –

    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.

  13. Johnny Sprinkle (verified owner) –

    Nice product.

  14. Gene B. (verified owner) –

    Perfect match with the straw replacement. No more powder splashing out of the cup.

  15. 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.)

  16. 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.

  17. John C. (verified owner) –

    Love this over the standard Autotrickler cup. Nicely balanced easy to use

  18. Robert Y. (verified owner) –

    Great workmanship

  19. Nicholas Brandler (verified owner) –

    Great addition

  20. Barry (verified owner) –

    Long handle makes it easy to remove from scale.

  21. RYAN MEYERHOFER (verified owner) –

    I can’t get over how well all of the parts appear to be machined

  22. Mark (verified owner) –

    Great craftsmanship. Extremely efficient.

  23. Thaine (verified owner) –

    High quality and solves the bouncing powder problem inherent to the shot glass style cups

  24. Jim Laverty (verified owner) –

    Quality built

  25. 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.

  26. 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.

  27. Jeanne R. (verified owner) –

    Well made at a fair price, and as always, great care taken in packaging and shipping. Perfect, as always.

  28. 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.

  29. Larry (verified owner) –

    Pick up two cups and they are legit!!!

  30. Darren I. (verified owner) –

    Works awesome

  31. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Grat product

  32. Robert G. (verified owner) –

    Great looking, lighter than the original and longer handle, which really helps.

  33. Michael S. (verified owner) –

    Definitely easier to use

  34. Pete A. (verified owner) –

    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.

  35. 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!!

  36. Wayne M. (verified owner) –

    Fit and finish were excellent and functions well

  37. William Jones (verified owner) –

    High Quality

  38. Ryan T. (verified owner) –

    Quality Product

  39. Zachary Hritz (verified owner) –

    Better than the original!

  40. Roy Smit (verified owner) –

    no more grains that pop out

  41. john berry (verified owner) –

    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 🙂

  42. Michael Brock (verified owner) –

    Awesome

  43. michael e. (verified owner) –

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

  44. Mike Q. (verified owner) –

    A++

  45. Antonio G. (verified owner) –

    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.

  46. Matt (verified owner) –

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

  47. Robert G. (verified owner) –

    Super clean machining

  48. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Nicely made

  49. Eric J. (verified owner) –

    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.

  50. Brian Garrett (verified owner) –

    Quality products, way above expectations.

  51. Jeff S. (verified owner) –

    Works great, had to remove the screw for the handle and loktite it. But love it

  52. Brandon Lehner (verified owner) –

    Haven’t used it yet, but it looks nice!

  53. DAVID K. (verified owner) –

    A great addition to my reloading bench

  54. Ron V. (verified owner) –

    Precision and Perfect performance, Well worth the money you spend. Excellent workmanship and design.

  55. Randy B. (verified owner) –

    The long arm makes it easy to put it on the tray and remove

  56. Lee (verified owner) –

    Perfect companion for the autotrickler

  57. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    Wow

  58. BobbyJo (verified owner) –

    Excellent products! Will highly recommend!

  59. John S. (verified owner) –

    Beautifully made, powder doesn’t stick. The handle of the cup sticks out beyond the scale’s lid for easy access.

  60. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    great product

  61. Bruno H. (verified owner) –

    Great quality, great look and does the job perfectly

  62. Matthew M. (verified owner) –

    Love Area 419 custom products

  63. Beshenov Sergey (verified owner) –

    I am very satisfied!

    Image #1 from Beshenov Sergey

  64. David Bassett (verified owner) –

    Form, fit, & finish are everything I’ve come to expect from the 419 team…and it just looks like it belongs on the Autotrickler vs. the “cheap” looking OEM cup

  65. Samson Hurt (verified owner) –

    Awesome build quality, good handle length. Cup material itself is prone to static sticking of kernels, but not much they can do about that.

  66. Chris (verified owner) –

    Area 419 makes some super nice stuff. Expensive but worth it if you take your reloading serious and have pride in American made products!

  67. Steven Daniels (verified owner) –

    Great quality

  68. Donald DeBord (verified owner) –

    Best ever great products and fast shipping!

  69. Grant (verified owner) –

    I love the way this is made it makes my powder throwing process a breeze

  70. Lawrence L. (verified owner) –

    Stops the splash out from the shot glass

  71. Greg Estes (verified owner) –

    Finally a scale pan you can actually use without fear of spilling powder

  72. Aaron (verified owner) –

    Great craftsmanship

  73. Jerome Hernandez (verified owner) –

    Such a great product. Much more useful than the little tin cups.

  74. Darrin H. (verified owner) –

    I give it a 4 because, although it is made wonderfully, I am not able to use it efficiently. I can’t pour a kernel or two back into my trickler because it doesn’t have a spout, so to speak. My fault for not considering this.

    However, I’m sure it’s a perfect cup for the autotrickler systems.

  75. Dallas Alexander (verified owner) –

    Their products are always top notch. They are pricey but they are of the highest quality. You buy once cry once.

  76. Dustin (verified owner) –

    Love it

  77. James (JP) Young (verified owner) –

    Just recently ordered my second powder cup. The addition of a second cup dramatically increased my powder charging speed.

  78. Thomas M. (verified owner) –

    Still waiting for my AutoTrickler but I have been able to use this with my scale in the meantime. This is a great companion piece to go with the AutoTrickler system.

  79. Jack Timm (verified owner) –

    Far better than the cups that came with the V-4, since they are aluminum I could sand some off the bottom and match the weights perfectly so I can use them in tandem while I was reloading and speed things up

  80. Tyler Orth (verified owner) –

    What’s not to like, no more static or kernels jumping out of the pan!

  81. Donald DeBord (verified owner) –

    Amazing quality always fast shipping, my go to adult candy store! A+++++

  82. Todd (verified owner) –

    Best $70 ever. Was soo irritated with the stock “glass” cups. Powder EVERYWHERE, even with the special CNC dropper. This thing is dope, had like two grains manage to escape during a 300 round loading day. No complaints.

    Image #1 from Todd

  83. William Arbogast (verified owner) –

    worked great

  84. Patrick Martin (verified owner) –

    As solid a product as the rest of the goods from Area 419. Simple products done right.

  85. Scott A. (verified owner) –

    This thing screams quality, if you have an Autotrickler (l have V4) then you need this powder cup…plain and simple

    Image #1 from Scott A.

  86. Craig M. (verified owner) –

    excellent product, only exception was the handle was loose on arrival, no issue to me i just tightened it up works great, no static

    Love the powder cup

  92. Chris (verified owner) –

    Love the cup with my V4

  93. Carl Valderama (verified owner) –

    This was a great addition to my AutoTrickler V4. Once I found a sweet spot on the platen, I haven’t had any errant kernels bounce out of the cop. It has the quality and clean machining that we’ve all come to expect from the Area 419 team!

  94. Peter (verified owner) –

    Very well made

  95. Mark S. (verified owner) –

    Better than I expected !

  96. Ricky S. (verified owner) –

    I have to say, it is expensive but also really nice. I have a Autotrickler V4 and the shot glass powder cup is heave. This one is much lighter and has more capacity.

  97. Jan Cremers (verified owner) –

    Perfectly produced and super handling!

  98. Jeff (verified owner) –

    Very nice quality and works perfectly.
