Heathen!I feel so ashamed. So worthless. So meaningless. All I ever use are these. The bigger one is for filling the powder hopper and back again to the storage container.

I don't blame you for wanting a funnel that sits on top of the brass without leaning over. It just looks like they took a great idea and product and stopped making it as high quality as it was. I hate having to hold the funnel but never wanted to spend the money on that tool. It's even on my watch list waiting for a sale lol.I have a couple of plastic funnels I use, but I did not have one that fit 6MM and wanted one that would sit on the case by its self, and the Satern checks those two things.

I make my own from a conventional Lee or RCBS funnel. For .222/223, a piece .223 brass, cut off both ends to save just the body, flared slightly, and JB'd into the spout. Now my RCBS funnel stands up on the brass.. . . wanted one that would sit on the case by its self. . .
Look at extreme hardcore gear funnels for quality you’ll not find a better funnel. $20Anyone else have one of these? Since I am individually weighing charges for the 6 dasher instead of just throw and go with a measure I needed a good funnel to fit the cases. These looked good and had good reviews.
Man is it rough. Very disappointing.

Now I HAVE to have a funnel set. Curse you Walkalong.
Spending far too much on-line time researching funnels. I'm even looking at using either CNC or 3D printing for making my own design.
Sad thing is I only load about 100 rifle rounds a quarter!!!
Below shows the difference (see the recess for the .223 case) between cfullgraf's and a Uniflow factory .22-270 adapter. The recess is deep enough to use on the P.M., but isn't deep enough to rest on a case, so I'm thinking why not drill it deeper on a drill press so it won't tip. Even a wood worker like me could do that, and it shouldn't effect use on the Uniflow,

You do have a great idea.....Why NOT 3D print just bases for an old RCBS or MTM funnel.....lighter weight and less wieldy than mine.......made to fit inside the drop? That way you don't deal with having to sand down and polish the funnel interior.........Jus one problem for me.....no 3D printer.
Precision Hardcore Gear . ComWhere did you find them for $20?
As for tools.....my expensive ones build homes, doctors offices, to grocery stores......and I've learned that you buy what saves time because time is money. That hasn't carried over to my hobbies....which include tinkering and making home-built tools. But I don't usually buy esoteric tools, unless they do something better and/or faster than anything I can make or buy inexpensively.
Well........the "unless" just got me here ...... After going to their web site.....
and finding and watching the following video I'm sold....forget all the others, homemade or commercial, mine included.....they really do have a better product.
With not a little egg on my face, $29 is worth every penny if it does what I saw it do.....I won't buy 10 of them tonight....but nothing says I can't buy one or two a month!
Now I'm pretty sure it would be worthwhile to grind and polish the insides of Uniflows (and other brands) of powder measures to do away with bridging in progressives. Who makes such thing.....if no one, who's going to be first to manufacture a polished aluminum powder measure casting and drop tubes?!
You misspelled College LOLOkay, now I'm confused.......it's the reviews in Midway.com. The first two I wanted is .308 and .223.....the reviews on those two aren't positive. Spilled powder through the .308, and the .224 doesn't fit a .223 remington case?
So South Prairie Jim.....which ones do you have besides the purple .244? I want to believe...... I'm wondering also how military brass might work.....investigation before ordering is prudent.
As for Harrells P.M. I don't think they will work on a progressive.
Walkalong: You and cfullgraf and your lathes!......I'm jealous! I tried a lathe in collage....it must have been 12' long.....It was a scared freshman's not so comfortable first experience.....never happened again.
