6.5prc powder funnel

[cumbrian]

Hi
I have just got myself a 6.5prc and will reload my own, just got set up to do some load development and have discovered my powder funnel lists too high on the shoulder !!!! I have tried trimming it down but still not happy with it, does anyone reload and can suggest which funnel will work.
Cheers

Sorry guys should read “ sits too high “

Try to source a "Satern" funnel.

Xtreme Hardcore Gear powder funnels are the best I have used.

The Lee red plastic ones work fine.

The Lee red plastic ones work fine.

Mine must be an old one then as it is no good at all

You've got me looking to see how mine is now as I've yet to get the rifle and reload for it.

 

[cumbrian]

Yea, all set up for load development and first load of powder and OH NO, this isn’t looking good

 

[ColinBr]

I've got the red Lee 1 which I use all the time, but I've got a couple of RCBS 1s there I've yet to use. Hopefully 1 of them will work

Could you hand turn a drill bit into the base hole to enlarge it .

What's needed is a WSM body-size funnel fitted with an internal ring to sit on short-necked cases, without wobbling around.
The Redding translucent one has this design, and so has the current RCBS although it's not visible.
The earlier RCBS MkI .22-.45 I use is the same, and fits the cases so snugly that even dust-like double based powders don't spill.

RCBS has improved upon even the basic plastic funnel. It features a specially designed drop tube to avoid any messy powder spills around case mouths.

Can't get into bother with specific funnels,

Big bonus is they suffer not with static.

I can't see how they are not specific. But yes, they are excellent.

Some brands of funnels , like LEE have multi kits, add ons etc, plus they can suffer from static.

The Forster one with the long drop tube works but needs holding in place by hand

Grind the end down so its engaging the neck before the shoulder

Small section of heat shrink tube is what I use to make a perfect fit from funnel to case shoulder
