Doubt this is very new - or even original but ... for some newer reloaders it might be of interest.
I was digging thru a draw in reload bench and found my misplaced trickler .... an accessory which for real critical rifle loads is near a must.
Thing is here ... this one is home made and real simple.. hardly even a need for a pic.
Take one 44 mag case .. and one 45 acp case.
Size down the 44 mag and put a slight roll crimp on it .. as if bullet seating. With the 45 acp case .. put a small bell mouth flare on it.
You should then find that the 44 will just, with persuasion, fit into the 45 case a ways... remove the primer from one or other.
Then, put in the still used primered case some powder of type you need to trickle ... put both cases together and then ... with empty primer pocket end as ''business'' end .. tap on the whole thing gently with a finger, and minute amounts of powder will come out ...... almost one strand or flake at a time ..... into your scales pan.
Worked well for me over many years .. and no cost!!
Just mentioning FWIW.
