I have recently upgraded to a Harrel Bench Rest Powder Measure, but have found powder sticking to the inside of the powder measure. I have cleaned it out with thinners, but the powder is still sticking to the inside. What can the cause of this be and what can I do. Your advise is much appreciated. | ||

Take a dryer sheet and wipe the inside of your powder measure. Should take care of the static electricity build up. | |||

It'll go away with use. Once you get a bit of powder residue build up on the walls of your powder measurer. Graybird "Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... it's the reckoning." | |||

About 30 years ago, when I first got my RCBS reloading kit, I dipped the plastic hopper of the Uniflo in soapy water and let it dry. To this day, I have never had a problem with powder sticking to the plastic... | |||

That is caused by static electricity. You can check by rubbing the powder funnel (plastic) with wool or some other cloth & see if powder sticks to it. I am not sure how you get rid of the "charge" in the plastic. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Washing the inside of the powder hopper with dishwashing liquid and letting it dry has always worked for me. I also treat my powder scale pans the same way. André DRSS --------- 3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact. 5 shots are a group. | |||
