:what: I noticed that powder clings (I guess from static) to my Lee powder feeder when I empty it to change powders. Maybe it clings and affects my loads too. Anyone know of a cure?
Clings to my funnel too.
 
Wash in hot soapy water, and let it air dry. Lee says it will go away if you run a pound of powder through it. I also used a pencil and coated every thing I could reach with lead. Good luck!
 
I usually wipe the inside with a dry paper towel when changing powders or I'll just take it outside and blow it out with a quick blast of compressed air.
 
The dryer sheet thing works! I used to have the same problem, now I wipe all reloading equipment down twice a year, no static in the powder dump, scales, or tumbler. BTW, I use the cheap UNSCENTED ones.
 
Any dryer sheet or a paper towel with a little detergent on it will kill static charges on plastic. We used to use extremely sensitive meters and we did the plastic window over the needles quite often with the detergent. Worked good.
