Choker and Griff
Super Sleuthing!! That be the prime Duhicky in the flesh. Yepper it is. However, some bummed am I. Currently I use a Rubbermaid container for powder, a second container for filler and a pair of precisely made scoops. All of which set right next to my Tower of Power (Shameless Plug).
Now the nitty gritty. The Rubbermaid containers cost about 3 Bucks each (I think) but free to me cause I swiped em from the kitchen. I made the scoops from carefully cut down 45 ACP cases I picked up at the range (free to me) and some Brass Rod stock and solder. Latest iteration doesn't even use solder. So the cost to me is actually about 2 Bucks. Amortized over thousands of rounds. OK, lets call it what it is. FREE!!!
Now, figuring for the cost increase over a 5 year period, plus (If they would) shipping and handling and associated costs, plus the offset for Dollar/Euro conversion bank charges for said conversion and wait time, all of which have to be factored in, which leaves an individual price of something around 25 to 30 Yankee Dollars a pop.
Here it is. If one uses filler (Breakfast Food to some) and Propellant (Necessary Stuff) one would need TWO Duhickies per gun per stage to dispense correct measures of Propellant (still necessary) and appropriate Breakfast Food (Nice to have) which does figure to TWO Duhickies per gun per stage. Swell. No problem, except, to have on hand, sufficient Duhickies per gun per stage, one is talking about (GASP!!!) SIX. HUNDRED. YANKIEE. DOLLARS. Defibrillator !!!! Quick!!!! That figure is to cover a 10 stage Annual. How about if you shoot a 12 stage annual?? That comes in at a Heart Stopping, Jaw Dropping SEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY YANKIEE DOLLARS.
SO .... Other than as a passing curiosity, I believe my par amore with this idea has wained. I mean sure, were I to skip the Breakfast Food, I could cut the cost for hardware in half which you might notice is still a whopping 300 Bucks. This to replace what I now use which is .... TA DA .... FREE. Does Not Compute. Plus you're still standing or sitting at some facility, with a precisely constructed Scoop for Propellant (a necessity) and a second precisely constructed scoop for Breakfast Food (Nice to have).
Think about it. There is no NET time saving. It takes just as long to fill the Widgets as it takes to charge the cylinders. Exactly the same. The you're adding the time to dump the Propellant and the Breakfast Food into the Chambers. We would still be spending the time. We should just be spending the time at different places and ADDING some NET TIME to the process. All of which is done at comparatively HUGE expense considering the NET cost of the current process. I rest my case.
We now return to our regularly unscheduled programming. Same Bat Channel.
