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.

Mine's about 1X2X3 , with a notch across one short end

one side and the cutter at 90* . I quit chasing that elusive half a minute
years ago .
And with handguns , DOA works for me . The 'bangers in my hood don't wanna
mess with the Harley Guy , he packs a big 'ol pistol .
And knows how to use it .
