How can you get all the powder out of the funnel? It sticks like static cling.

It probabl is static cling. Running a BUNCH of powder through a funnel or measure can help. A lot of folks advocate putting into the funnel for a bit, or wiping the funnel with dryer sheet, seems to work OK.

Good Luck!

read somewhere about wiping the funnel with anti-cling dryer sheets, I've never tried it but may work, also will make your loads smell good

You can also wash the funnel in soapy water and then let it dry without rinsing the soap off. No more static cling!

Also a couple drops of fabric softener into some water and moisten a cloth or paper towel works too.

Invest in the Saturn funnel. They are caliber specific with a heavy bottom and no such thing as static. Once you try one you'll never use a plastic one again.

Answer to powder clinging in the plastic funnel=Aluminum funnels.
