Can anyone recommend a good funnel for reloading .223?

 

I have an RCBS .22-.50 funnel, but it sucks for .223.

 

It doesn't fit over the mouth, you have to balance it just right or you will spill some powder on almost every case. A real pain in the a**.

 

I don't think it is just mine, as a friend here on the board told me he has the same issue with his.

 

Does anyone use a funnel that works well with .223?

 

Thanks.

I use this: http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=706030&categoryId=0&parentCategoryId=0&subCategoryId=0&indexId=0&itemGUID=2e10f4e1808d64c998cd1779f2574771&destination=/checkout/basket.jsp

 

with excellent results.

Thanks Jon. Sounds like it will work better than the universal one.

I've used it with Varget for .223 and had no problems in 4-500 rounds.

I'm using W748 which is a very fine powder. The size of Varget probably also helps.

Keith, I have the lee funnel. If you want it, I'll bring in on Sunday if you're shooting trap.

satern for .223 There is absolutely no better. Yes, $13 for a funnel seems sutpid until you use one. 

 

ETA  http://www.midwayusa.com/product/480995/satern-powder-funnel-22-caliber-aluminum-and-brass  look it's only $11.99 right now. 

 

I got mine for $10, but I would honestly replace it in a heartbeat at twice that price. Especially fro fine ball powders like TAC or BLC2,no more static cling and the stuff flows through like water. 

 

Varget tells yo nothing. It's the powder that meters and flows like poop with everything, so everything looks good/bad. The big chunks make it less sensitive to static though.

I use an OHAUS bur the one Jon has seems like the cats ass especially with the drop tube for stuff like big stick Varget

Thanks for the responses guys. Thanks Matt, I saw the Satern, but ordered the RCBS combo that Jon recommended before your post.

 

I just got the RCBS today and tried it a couple of times using the .17 size adapter with a .223 case and 748 and not a drop spilled.

 

So far I'm very happy with that. We'll see as next time I go and load some.

I have the rcbs but those aluminum and brass ones are now on my list.
