reloading powder funnel

[Steve crawford]

What is a good antistatic powder funnel for loading 5.56 & 30 cal. rifle and all pistole cal.?  My 1969 plastic funnel and a couple of funnels I bought last year don't fit the 5.56 case mouth.  Two of the funnels I bought last year, the case goes all the way through the neck of the funnel now.  I have a hard time trying to get the case in the wright spot before I dump the powder.  I don't feel that I can spend $100.00 or more for a funnel set up.  I would like to get something for $50.00 or less. I also have trouble with static build up where I live.  

   Thanks

I live in a dry static prone place also, at least in the winter it's dry. I have a few funnels made for powder and none have issues with static. I think you could find one for under $5 unless I'm missing something. 

I'd look in Brownells or Midway and they'll tell you what calibers it'll load (the size of the hole). An Ebay purchase might be a mistake. If you want to make sure it's antistatic get one made for blackpowder and out of brass but you'll need to check and see if they are for cartridge loading. I know BP funnels exist but I've never seen or used one so I haven't a clue what you'll find. They are definitely anti-static though since one spark with BP and it ignites.

Wipe the funnel w/bounce dryer sheets. No static cling.

^^^  This.   I still use the Lee clear red funnel I got way back when with my single stage press kit.  It works fine for me with everything from 223 up to 375 Socom.

This looks like a pretty good solution.

I'm in DRY WY, so I feel your pain.

Same here, red Lee funnel works. Also use the RCBS green funnel.
