Coating Powder Funnels?


Recommended Posts

I run Lee undersized sizing dies in 9mm and 40 S&W. When combined with coated bullets the amount of belling required causes the brass to stick to the powder through expander/powder funnel. I'm thinking about having my powder funnels sent out to be coated for added lubricity to smooth out the press operation.

Has anyone done this?

Can you recommend a type of coating that would be self lubricating and not easily get worn away by expanding case mouths?

I use a lanolin lube.... doesn't stick.

Except for he is talking about the expander. Lanolin lube and powder together are not good friends. You can do this with OneShot as it dries completely and powder will not stick to it.

I say just polish it to a mirror shine as a start.

A little One Shot case lube on your cases will not only prevent sticking but make sizing easier too. No need to tumble afterwards, it dries and doesn't attract dirt.

 

I tried the Dillon lube, couldn't stand the smell and it seemed a bit greasier.
