Area 419 Powder funnel thumbs up or could it work better?

I don’t have any experience with that funnel set but I do have a couple of their muzzle breaks. And the design, machining, fit and finish is first rate! I gotta believe their funnel set is the same. I’ve never had any problem with ball powders not “flowing”, not clearing the funnel. It’s always the extruded powders, that needs the occasional tap, tap, on the rim! IMO Wink $100 is a ridiculously little amount for the quality of materials, design and machining that went into that funnel set. All built in the USA! If you don’t like it, I would think you could unload it no problem, at a small discount! Cool

Anecdotally, I also tried the Lyman set, with six calibers. It’s got a lot going for it but, IMO, the handle is way to big, heavy, for its application. It’s really hurt the overall balance of the funnel. Mine tips to the heavy side frequently. Remove the handle, probably works great. Enter the Franklin Armory funnel set, with eight calibers, that looks like it’s similar to the Lyman but without the funnel handle. An huge upgrade for me. And a better value, more calibers inserts, on Amazon! Rolleyes
