The unit works well. Saves me a lot of time. It is very fit for purpose. The bluetooth stopped working after a while, but I did not really use it that much.

Speed & Accuracy Delivered! Frankford Arsenal's Intellidropper

By Jb H. on Nov 17, 2023
Here's a question for you: What single activity of reloading, from the initial cleaning and decapping of your brass....right down to the bullet crimp....puts your personal safety at greatest risk? That's Right: Weighing and Dispensing Powder. And...whether you're a salty old hand-cranker who spits out wildcats...or you're a wannabe primer-punk grinding out 30-30 on a little Lee Loader...You now have a reason to celebrate a safer 2024...because....Graf and Sons has teamed up with the Reloading Experts at The Frankford Arsenal in order to make your life safer, save you ca$h, improve your shooting skills, and...boost the quality of your finished ammunition. How?
By providing you with The Intellidropper Automatic Powder Dispenser. How's She Work, you ask? AWESOME!
The Intellidropper holds up to a full POUND of any of your smokeless powders...effortlessly. It then CALIBRATES ITSELF...Two Different Ways: First, it performs a self-administered Weight Calibration...and offers you clear indication of pass/fail. Second, it will self-administer a Powder-Specific Calibration: Call it Fine Tuning for your powder delivery! The Intellidropper literally trains itself how to best work with
your current powder. Wow. But, Wait....There's More! Cause...I'll say it now...You Never Have to Wait: The Intellidropper is FAST...plus HONEST and ACCURATE. In fact, if it makes an error...it will TELL you about it...to make sure that you stay in control...of getting powder into brass. Can you say "Safe"?
Sorry, my Ram-Rodding Brothers! But...at the time of this writing....The Intellidropper offers NO support for working with your black powder rounds. The Intellidropper was designed by hand loaders like you and me to deliver EXACT powder loads...accurate down to one tenth of a grain...quickly and with minimal effort on your part. It does this by providing an intuitive and highly functional keyboard and display. Yes...as in digital display! No more messing with jumpy "beam scales"; no more fooling around with sticky, hand-cranked powder tricklers; no more building custom "powder scoops" out of old brass just to dump your favorite loads. And...best of all...no more spending HOURS weighing out load workups! The Intellidropper makes load workups so quick and easy, you'll swear it’s FUN!
Now...One caveat...for the technology-minded of you out there...with regards to Bluetooth Connectivity. If you are looking forward to working with the new Intellidropper Phone App...that connects your Android or Apple phone / tablet with the Intellidropper and gives you remote control over it....a tentative word of caution: Try as I might...I could not, honestly, get the device to pair with my Android Tablet (running vs. 9). In fact, the device could not even be seen by any piece of hardware I have at my disposal. Now...I should tell you...that the Intellidropper uses a Bluetooth standard called BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), and this is completely separate from traditional Bluetooth. Think: Internet of Things...like, your fridge telling the world that you're out of milk. Yeah....like that. And when you combine the above with the fact that, despite it's neat digital keypad and display, the Intellidropper lacks ANY MEANS of helping you pair with your device -- (not to mention, the product documentation is so poor, it might as well be nonexistent) -- the results can be extremely mysterious...and frustrating. However....be that as it may...
It does not mean that you should avoid the product. The Intellidropper works BEAUTIFULLY all by itself, without a connection of any kind. So...In conclusion then...I recommend that you go to Grafs.com today....BUY The Intellidropper immediately....and get it under your Christmas tree now...for a Merry Christmas and a Safer New Year to come.

I bought this when Grafs put it on sale. A friend of mine recommended it. I have run flake pistol powder through it and extruded rifle powder with successful results. The measurements were precise and very fast. Beats hand trickling any day and dropping powder by volume. Really speeds things up.

You cannot beat this electronic powder scale for the money. I have found this scale to be very accurate, reliable and fast. Like others have said, let it warm up for 15 minutes and it’ll give you accurate consistent drops. I also like the app on my iPhone to where I can save my loads and just send the load to the scale through Bluetooth.

Accurate unit once warmed up. Only trouble and hope it gets redesigned is the powder drain. Extremely hard to twist open, adding a better knob would solve it and gain little leverage without moving the machine

Drops the powder correctly. It is key to let the unit warm up and once that is done making sure the bubble level shows the unit level. I particularly like the powder calibrator to allow the unit to adapt to the powder granule being used. Once it is calibrated it worked like a dream, quickly measuring the exact amount specified. I note that the set up time and clean up time is such that only the weight measure is useful for a small number of loads. This suits it extremely well if you are loading a few hundred pistol rounds but not if you are loading 3 or 10 rounds for experimentation.

This work great. It will give you the exact number of grains that you programmed it for. It speeds up reloading a lot.

Frankford Arsenal Powder measure

By MICHAEL M. on Jun 22, 2020
The product is well made. I've only had one problem and that is drift. Up to .4 grains even after having been on for 36hrs. When using this measure I have to keep resetting zero.
I have their Platinum Series Precision Digital Powder Scale and it has very seldom ever had a problem with drift. I am looking at it right now and it is still on zero having been on .for a week and a half. It is on a table in my computer room surrounded by printers and a computer.

Works well

By John J M. on May 31, 2020
It does the job, I like that it connects with my phone for saving data and operating the unit.

I'm very impressed with this unit. Once calibrated it
Is very accurate . Checked against with my Gem Pro 250 scale. Only a tenth difference . Dispenses quicky . I like how it adjusts to different types of powders .
I'm very happy with it.

FRANKFORD PLATINUM POWDER INTELLI-DROPPER

By George T. on May 27, 2019
5 Stars because it absolutely meets my needs and has increased my reloading pleasure. It's not perfect but I'd buy it again without question.

What I have done with it ths far is work up 9MM, Sport Pistol and 50AE, H110 loads.

My process:
Turn it on and allow it to sit for 15 minutes and then calibrate it. Replace the pan and fill the powder hopper, typically 3/4 full. Run the powder calibrate cycle twice. The first time it can dump 300+ grains, the second time will be less and you'll get very consistent loads. You need to do this when you change powder as it really does learn based on the powder how to stop on the mark. When it comes to emptying the power out, simply move the unit to the edge of the table, place the container under the spout and turn the cap. Use the little brush to knock the rest of the loose powder to the bottom. Tip the unit forward to get the rest out of the trickler tube. If you tip the unit too much it may not want to power up without puling the plug and plugging it back in. My other Electronic scales sometimes fluctuate by .1, this scale is no different and hitting zero tends to settle it down. If you have doubts, calibrate it again.

For 9MM I use a Lee Turret press in single stage mode. I set the scale to 3.2gn and hit the button. Within a few seconds it beeps and shows STABLE indicating it's done and right on 3.2gn. I would dump the powder into the case and seat the bullet and by that time the next charge had been dispensed and I repeated this cycle until to was time to up the powder charge, 3.3 - 4.0. Worked like a champ saving me from dumping the little dippers and trickling the last few grains over and over again. No over or under changes in about 100 rounds.

For 50AE I use a RCBS single stage press, prep the cases. H110 is a fine powder and can be messy. Starting at 30gn, it take a little longer and is more fun to watch as it dumps quickly at first and stops. It then dumps a little and stop and that last .1gn it bumps ever so little and stops - beeps and reads STABLE. I loaded four boxes, one each at 30,31,32 and 34gn. Out of 200 rounds I pulled the pan too early once, it will let you know that was a problem, dump the powder back in the hopper and let lt start over. My bad but good to know. I did have the .1 drift at maybe the 100 round mark resulting in a .1 overage. I dumped the power in the hopper hit Zero and let it start over. I had no other issues what so ever.

The App on IOS works. I'm not sure what I was expecting, maybe an interactive reloading manual and that it's not. What it does do is allow you to store your load data and allows you to send those loads to the scale rather than push the buttons on the scale. It connect via Bluetooth and disconnects if you switch between apps but it quickly re-syncs when you return. IT does have a large selection of bullets and powder options to pick from when building your loads saving you data entry time.

It has improved my reloading pleasure and has earned a permanent place on my bench.
