Worn out MBF powder funnel

[cvincent]

Anyone wear out a MBF powder funnel? Loaded thousands and thousands and thousands of coated bullets perfectly without any die or press adjustments, then all the sudden it started shaving the coating in the seating die. Went over the press, dies, cleaned, adjusted the flare a little bit. Still shaving it slightly. Noticed the small step on the funnel is no longer there. Ordered a new one to see if that’s the cause, curious if anyone has seen this with that funnel.

650 mark7. Dillon size die, Redding comp seater die, Lee FCD.

Thanks

Have you measured bullets? Maybe the bullets are slightly larger in diameter.

Did the new one solve your problem?

No problems with mine.

 

I'm using the original funnel that came with the KISS Bulletfeeder.

 

I don't load coated bullets anymore.

It did. The new one also measured .003” larger than mine.
