Nice ! A lot of commercial funnels cone the outlet too . Makes it usable for
more than one caliber , but then takes a hand to steady it while pouring .
Just out of curiosity , why don't you use an adjustable powder measure ?
Looking for that last tenth of a moa ?


Let's just say I'm trying to give myself the best shot at 0.5 MOA and
better without spending a fortune at it or making a fetish of it.

I weigh each charge to 0.1 grain with a balance -- not an electronic
scale. The measure is just to get within trickle distance without
spending all day trickling.

I do use a volumetric measure for handgun ammo, crank it out like
jellybeans. I think DOA is a more reasonable measure of handgun
proficiency, read that however you might. G

If that is the case , have you checked your case necks for uniform
thickness and concentricity ? I have a sweet little outside neck turning
tool that a friend made me years ago , has a replaceable pilot (to change
calibers) and uses a 1/4" lathe bit as a cutter .


Cool. That may make my list of "shop season" projects.
