Powder Funnel Problems
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

The dryer sheets do work...like a charm.

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.
