Keeping the powder flowing

[streaker69]

I was looking something up for another project I'm working on and I happened across this:

In particular, this comment:

I use these little vibrators on a reloading press, great for keeping the primers and powder flowing nicely.

Just thought I'd share, seems like it might be a good idea if you have an issue with your powder/primers getting hung up in the feed tubes.

And here I thought this would be a juicy thread about hookers and blow.

Yep, good idea. You can also find something suitable at your local adult book store. At least that's what I hear. Actually aquarium pumps were popular for this awhile back.

Vibrating wooden c rings. Nice other project Streaker.

I would think vibrating the powder would cause more static and cause more problems than it solves.

I just smack the powder hopper with my hand every once in a while.
It doesn't cost anything.

Wonder if that would work for 800x going through the dillon 550b powder drop. Dillon says sure it drops like all other powders, the hell it does. Do an average weight of 10 drops, and it's all over the place.

I have never had any luck with either 700X or 800X. I also load on a Dillon 650 and a PW800. I use a dryer sheet wrapped around the powder measure and held in place with a rubber band. This works great with ever other powder. I had a Lee Loadmaster and it would not throw 700 or 800X well either.

What does the dryer sheet do?

Probably help to dissipate any static build up that would cause the powder to stick to the plastic.
