glockmeister71Sticky Powder???
A few minutes ago I tried to load some 22-250 with Benchmark.The powder was sticking to the funnel and case necks so bad I had to give it up.I poured the powder out into a bowl and stirred it good,but it didn't help.My bench is in a A/Ced room with the thermostat set on 71F.The powder is about 4-5ft away from a vent on the floor,but it's blocked by the bench top,shelve top and surrounded by 3 sides.I've prolly got about 5 years of reloading experience and never had this happen.Any ideas?

eddieharrenYou have static cling. Wipe your funnel with a fabric softener sheet. The ones used in the clothes dryer.

onefunzr2I concur, although a quick wash in warm dishwater should also do the trick.

glockmeister71I tried the fabric softener sheet and it took care of my funnel.Brushed all my necks with a new bore brush and took care of them.Simple fix.Thanks guys.
