I picked up a new RCBS funnel today and tried to dump powder thru it. Seems like 1/3 of the powder sticks to the side. I tried cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and it didn't help. Then washed it with hot water and soap. That didn't help. Then tried dumping lots of powder thru it and that didn't help at all. I also took 4 0000 steel wool and roughed it up didn't help. Im at a lose, something so simple and so frustrating. Relive your memories take a kid hunting and fishing | ||

I wipe my powder hopper and/or funnel with Bounce dryer sheets. The ones you throw in the dryer to reduce static cling on clothes. Seems to work okay. | |||

I put some powdered graphite on a cleaning patch and wipe the inside of my powder funnels with it. One application usually lasts for several years. If you don‘t have any graphite at hand, you could try a pencil instead. | |||

Get an aluminum funnel, solves all your static problems and the powder feeds thru them faster. | |||

I've used a dryer sheet and I've used the aerosol can stuff called Static Guard they both work well. ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

Dryer sheets work like magic, also consider keeping a humidifier in the room. If your wife uses fabric softener and not dryer sheets put a couple drops in some water, soak it up with a washcloth, and wipe everything down with that. for every hour in front of the computer you should have 3 hours outside | |||

Wash it in soapy water and DON’T rinse it. Let it air dry. Shoot Safe, Mike NRA Endowment Member | |||

+1 JEB Katy, TX Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day - Robert Ruark DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||
