Reducing ES/SD for a Few Dollars 

I have been using Satern funnels for years. Great powder funnel. Definitely helped me get the powder into the brass over the generic one size fits all powder funnels.

Cheap old(like me) Lee plastic funnel has that step inside as well. Works great. I just swipe a dryer sheet on all surfaces along with my other tools, no problem.

I like the Area 419 funnel

I like Satern funnels a lot. Deb sent me some at one time. I used them for years. After a while, the aluminum will start to shift from the bushing at the bottom and you can get kernels that fall down in there. It got bad on mine with ball powders. The gap will grow over time. Not a deal breaker, something to be aware of. They are inexpensive enough it isn’t a problem to replace them.

Have used Satern funnels for years now, great funnels, never had a problem, they are great.

I use Saturn funnels and still tap them to ensure all the kernels flakes or balls go into the case. Good point Keith. I remember in the beginning of hand loading for me. When done I found powder kernels in my 50 piece case tray and wondered how. Zero missing kernels now.

Holy smokes! For the first (and probably last) time I am ahead of you - been using those funnels for at least 15 years. They are a “better mousetrap” IMHO.

Area 419 have a metal funnel with caliber specific screw on inserts that come as a set.

I've used the funnel in my first Lee basic reloading kit for over 10 years and I have only spilt powder a few times with it. This is over the course of making literally tens of thousands of rounds.

Cases that have sharp shoulder angles and short necks can run into an issue where the bottom of the funnel hits the shoulder before the taper hits the mouth. That is the only situation where I have experienced leakage between funnel and case. Coincidentally,. that is the exact situation with the .284 Winchester, which is the caliber that Kieth uses for F class. None of the calibers that I load for have this problem. I ran into it loading for a friend's 7mm WSM. I will say that the funnels that he recommends are very good, having used one when helping a friend load for an off continent hunt.

My favorite funnels, too.

Or when removing the pan from the scale, you could bump it knock 2-3 kernels into the pan unknowingly

I'm on my 3rd RCBS green plastic funnel, they do wear out making 22 cal a challenge. Question for you, if you could expand upon your statement of case dwell time in the sizing die? Does it reduce "memory " or spring back of brass?

I agree with Saturn funnels . I have them....

They work good, what I use. Good vids

Frankfort arsenal makes a nice caliber specific set that's nice and works well..

👍

Some of us need drop tubes

Is that a typo Keith? Why yes it is - maybe you were referring to the Lee Dip sticks - /jk

What is es and sd ????
