223 funnel choice..?

[cfullgraf]

I have an RCBS plastic funnel, circa 1980, and it works fine with 22 caliber cases.

20 years or so ago, I bought a Frankfort Arsenal, or what ever Midway was using for a brand name at the time, funnel with interchangeable ends so that I had a funnel that works with 17 caliber cases. It works fine as well.

They do not get used much as I find my powder measures, particularly the Harrell Precision Culver 90, does more than a great job at consistent charges.

I have a ancient RCBS funnel that leaked powder when I started reloading 223. My solution was to take an empty case to a LGS and check out the newer RCBS funnel and it fit like it should so I bought a new funnel. Since the old funnel is much smaller than the newer one I always preferred it. This thread caused me to take a look at it yesterday and see why it didn't fit and if I could remedy the problem. It was simply a case of the taper was to steep to allow it to sit down on the case mouth. Two sizes of drill bits and a little twisting by hand cured the problem.
