338 Lapua powder funnel problem...

[FAL_Freak]

I have a problem with my "universal" powder funnel. Basically the funnel doesn't fit around the fat portion of the bottleneck case. This leads to the case mouth not touching the top of the funnel tube thing, which of corse leads to powder filling the void between the case neck and the funnel body. This just will not do.

Anyway, what are you guys doing to fix this problem? If there is a 50 cal funnel that'd be great as I have 50AE to load up someday too and of course the 22 -45 cal funnel doesn't work the best with that caliber either. Using a thinner funnel that doesn't need to go past the case shoulder would work too I suppose. What are your thoughts?

Cut if off until the casemouth makes contact before the shoulder.

I have the dremel all setup and ready to go....

Just wondering if there is a pre-made solution. Course I had to ream out my Lee auto prime had tool to fit the 338 case, so this might be the best option.

Damn this 338 Lapua.

Give the guys at Sinclair's a call - I'm sure they've got a fix.

For the record I fixed my current funnel by trimming it as Jim Watson suggested. Thanks Jim!
