Frankford Arsenal Powder Intel

Great scale, got it in June. Accurate to <0.1 grain as verified by a known balance beam scale and another consistent electronic scale. I load on a turret press. By the time I'm ready to dump powder in the next case the Auto function has finished trickling the charge for it. For those having Bluetooth issues: On first use the Intellidropper is supposed to auto link with your device. On my Android (a MotoZ3) it didn't, but when I used the standard BT link function built into the phone that worked perfectly. On all subsequent uses the scale and phone app auto connect. If BT is off in the phone the app asks to turn it on. As of Oct 7 I'm on the most current version (1.1) of the app. The above behavior was in 1.0, but I only had to sync it once. Use notes: I have a small compressor at my bench; when I empty the hopper I use the Intellidropper's included brush to clean the interior of the clear cylinder and the recesses in the hopper body. I also use the 'Trickle' button to empty the dispenser tube, then spray compressed air backwards through the tube and in the hopper to ensure ZERO powder is left to potentially contaminate the next load. One could be going from Citigroup to a slower rifle powder and a little fast powder in a .556 case may not be disastrous, but it ain't going to be good.... I've not tried the import / export functions yet so can't speak to their functionality in v1.1 but the app and scale work and are worth the price.

So far so good. Needs to update with the 6 mm arc info. Don't use bubble on scale to level it's off, get another bubble level and set on your scale

Works for my iPhone but android will not recognize my intellidropper. I tried the android first before using my iPhone as my iPhone is my work phone, so it had not been paired. I'll change my rating when/if it ever starts working.

This free app goes with the FA "Intellidropper" powder measure & scale. Their literature & the product manual promise "The free app features preloaded information such as bullet and powder databases, cartridge list, powder list, bullet database with type, weight, ballistic coefficient and sectional density and more." I expected the database to be full reloading data, but instead it's just specs for the components of a cartridge you choose from drop-down menus to create your own load. No guidance.
