Powder Cling?
I have been experiencing powder granules clinging to my powder funnels and am looking for suggestions as to cleaning or otherwise remove the what I believe to be static from my plastic powder funnel.

Use an anti-static cloth or a fabric softener sheet that has been through a couple of dryer cycles.

I don't even bother with used dryer sheets. I just pull one out of the box every so often. Works well in your dispenser, too.

I wipe the inside of my powder measures down about once a year (if that often) and never have a problem with static cling.

Wash with liquid dish soap and water then let it air dry without wiping.
Works better then the drier sheets in my limited experiance

Dryer sheets work well, but be sure to use the unscented ones. I'm not sure if the chemical scent agent would present some incompatibility with powder, but that chemical perfume will stink to high heavens in your reloading room or on your hands.
