Most of us probably have heard that we should not use regular powder measures with BP because the plastic hoppers can result in static electricity.
Most of us probably have also noted that many brands of BP are now sold in plastic containers, and many of us also have used plastic Lee dippers with BP.
And those of us who take Muzzle Blasts magazine may have noticed the article wherein the authors were unable to ignite BP with static and explained why it essentially could not be done. For those of you who do not have access, here is a similar, but less in-depth article which came to the same conclusion.
Short version: is there actually any reason not to use a standard powder measure with BP?
