    static!

    Today reloading some more 30-30, I experienced my first time dealing with static clinging powder.
    Using 37gr lever, 150gr sierra fp. It was sticking everywhere, powder measure, scale bowl, funnel, cases, fingers, table, everything!

    Trying to flick the bowl to empty into the funnel/case which didn't really work.... I finally finished my 60rds. But what gives

    I was thinking of a fiery thread with s static discharge...very disappointed.

    Wipe your area with dryer sheets, maybe graphite? Do you have balloons hanging around?

        No balloons and sorry to disappoint. But static is the least of my worries when my reloading bench is inches from tankless water heater ;-)

          Lever isn't stick powder, its closer to ball powder

            Wipe the funnel and tube down with a dryer sheet before you load. I wipe the inside of my Chargemaster now and then too. Lever and Trail boss stick like crazy, because they are lighter by volume than the others. You can also buy an aluminum funnel, no more cling.
