Fordfan485 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I am having horible static problems with my Lee Pro Auto Disk Powder measure( reloading in the garage with the humidty around 40%) . First I tried using a dryer sheet, that did nothing. Then tried some powdered graphite. It seemed to help some with consistency of thown charges with WSF. Its kind of a problem because I can either get 3.7-3.8 grains or with the next size up 4.2-4.3 grains( I should be getting 4.0 with the size disk I am using). When I went to dump the powder back into the can I have a coating of powder stuck to every surface in the hopper. Thinking of trying some Blaster graphite lube next. Has anyone tried this?

Powder Finger Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 might also try a small grounding wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeinctown Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I just store used dryer sheets in my hopper now. I think there are at least a half dozen in there at the moment. The first time I just wiped down everything inside and now I shove additional used ones in there. I also wipe down my powder pan that I use with my scale with each sheet that gets shoved in the powder measure. Worked wonders for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordfan485 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hmm maybe the key is USED dryer sheets, I had a box I use for tumbling but none of them are used ( wife hates using them in the dryer). On a seperate related note: Does anyone have a problem with powder sticking inside of the brass when dumping it onto the powder scale to check charges?. I woudl just dump into the pan that came with the scale but the only way to activate my measure is with a piece of brass going thru the expander/powder thru die.

RiggerJJ Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Don't spray lube directly onto the cases...spray it into a empty Tupperware container, dump in the brass, lid it and shake, then dump into case feeder. jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckols Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Rigger JJ has the best solution on lubing and avoiding powder sticking to cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinnCan Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Used dryer sheets will also make your shower curtain rings slide easier after rubbing one all over the rod... Tons of uses for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwmax2000 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I take used dryer sheets and rubber band them on the outside of my powder measure/dispenser. That seems to work fine. I also use a cheap electric tooth brush (also rubber banded to it) to settle the powder. I dont have to run it all the time, only for a while after filling it up.
