RIP Powderfunnels.com...

I dunno what happened, but I think they are now gone...

So I wonder if I can duplicate their PTX bushing and sell them off for $27 or so each...

Of course they would be polished and very smooth. :\ Just thinking out loud, but I do not know why such a good product is off the market now. This product needs to live on.

I made my own but fit to the dimensions of my powder hopper. I wouldn't want to start producing them without some kind of cnc lathe. I polished the inside of mine as well as the outside.

Bummer. They were nice.

Wonder if they forgot to pay their domain registration? One can hope...

I tried ordering one of their PTX funnels through their website 1-2 years ago, but their website payment processing wasn't working, so I gave them a call. I was able to get a hold of someone over the phone who told me he was going to shut down the website because it cost too much money to fix the payment system. It also sounded like he was getting out of the business back then. I ordered two of the PTX funnels over the phone after hearing that. Too bad they are gone now... it is a great product.

Agreed, great product. Perfect bell on my 45 ACP brass and much better (IMO) that what Hornady ships with the LnL powder measure if memory serves.

When a product fails, it's definitely a good idea to try to recreate that exact same product and make a profit. I mean they probably just went out of business for funzies.

OR...

Maybe they just did not rake in millions overnight like they had hoped to do.

Because we all feel like that when we solve a minor reloading problem or some fix or whatever, We feel like a million bucks the first time and then we are expecting the noble piece prize and then we set out to fix the world because we are all heroes and pioneers...

And then our ****ing payment system breaks and we have to shut down our website because paypal hates us for being gun folks and the credit card *****es want too much money to continue with their services...

Yeah, seems legit.

I am going to recreate these, only on small runs if I can, I want them to be hardened, and butter smooth, but I will settle for butter smooth.

AND, I just might put a pair of boobs on them too... And I am expecting the target price to be around $27 including shipping. So we will see if I know a guy that has an uncle that uses his friend's room mate's dad's step daughter's 3rd cousin removed to fabricate them and get me a good price... Coming in 2028...
