I was given an RCBS powder trickler. I have never used one before. I was trying it out and powder was coming out both ends. I looked online and saw there is supposed to be a knob on one end. (Probably why I had powder coming out both ends.) I can put a knob on the tube, no problem. My question is: What end? The inside of one end is threaded and the inside of the other is not. Does the powder come out the smooth end or the threaded end?
 
It comes out the threaded end.

The powder granules follow the threads out as you turn it clockwise.

I got a knob installed and I secured the bushing that keeps the tube from sliding too far. It works great with my RCBS 5-10 scale. It will be a big help working up loads for my 300 AAC blackout.
 
Good news!

Enjoy!

BTW: Years ago, I poured some molten lead in the base of mine, and glued a thin rubber pad on it to keep it where I put it next to the scales.

It helps and is worth doing!

PS: if you don't have lead smelting capability?
Lead shot & epoxy would work as well if not better.

You may want to try this one, nothing to do but add powder, base is already weighted.

You will really like using it if you are trying to get an exact powder weight. With the extruded rifle powders, you can literally turn out one granule (i.e. a single piece of powder) with it.

The weighted base is nice so it doesn't get bumped out of position, but works OK without it.
