Description
If you've spent years tapping a trickler onto a beam scale chasing that perfect charge, the Frankford Arsenal Intellidropper is the kind of upgrade that makes you wonder why you waited so long. This electronic powder measure combines a digital scale and an auto-dispenser into one unit, so you set your target weight and let the machine throw and trickle its way to the exact charge. It reads to within +/- 0.1 grain and handles charges up to 250 grains per throw, which covers everything from light pistol loads to big magnum rifle cases.
What Sets the Intellidropper Apart at the Bench
The standout here is the proprietary powder calibration button. Instead of running a fixed trickle speed for every powder, the Intellidropper learns how your specific propellant flows and settles during setup, then optimizes its dispensing to get close fast and creep up to the final weight cleanly. Frankford Arsenal says this makes it roughly twice as fast as other measures on the market, and reloaders who've switched from a manual trickler tend to agree it saves real time. A large backlit LCD touch screen keeps the controls easy to read, and the see-through hopper holds more than 7,000 grains, so you can run long sessions without topping off.
Running the Intellidropper With the Mobile App
Bluetooth connectivity ties the unit to the free Frankford Arsenal app, where you can store load recipes, organize them by cartridge, and pull from preloaded bullet and powder databases. The app even includes a cost calculator so you can see what each round runs you to build. Once a recipe is saved, you can send charges straight to the unit and operate it right from your phone.
A couple of real-world tips worth passing along: take a minute to level the unit on a solid bench before your first calibration, and let it warm up so the readings settle. Do that, and the Intellidropper earns its spot as a workhorse that frees up your hands and spares your arm the old tap-and-weigh routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Intellidropper powder measure?
The Intellidropper is rated to +/- 0.1 grain, which puts it right in line with other quality electronic dispensers at this level. For extra peace of mind on precision rifle loads, plenty of handloaders keep a separate check scale nearby to verify charges, but once it's calibrated well, most find the readings consistent throw after throw.
Does the Intellidropper work with a phone app?
Yes. The unit is Bluetooth enabled and pairs with the free Frankford Arsenal app, which stores your load recipes, organizes them by cartridge, and includes preloaded bullet and powder databases plus a cost calculator. Once a recipe is saved, you can send charge weights to the unit and run it from your phone.
What charge weights and powder capacity can the Intellidropper handle?
It dispenses charges up to 250 grains per throw, so it covers light pistol loads all the way up to large magnum rifle cases. The see-through hopper holds more than 7,000 grains, roughly a full pound of powder, which is plenty for extended reloading sessions without refilling.
Is this the Intellidropper 2.0 or the original model?
This listing is the original Intellidropper, manufacturer part number 1082250. It delivers the same core performance with +/- 0.1 grain accuracy, auto and manual trickle, and Bluetooth app support. The 2.0 is a separate, later model with its own part number.
