Loading on a Dillon???

[mstarling]

Guys,

What did you do for a powder funnel to activate the powder measure when using a Dillon progressive loader?

I got ticked off with Dillon over the $35 they wanted to ship an "N" powder funnel for the 6.8 SPC case ... and made my own on a lathe. There is not much of a shoulder on the 300 WTF case to activate the measure.

Thanks!

7.62x39 is the funnel you need.

Hoser,

Thank you for the guidance ... but as I said I am so pissed off with Dillon that I would not buy another one from them at the moment! There is no surcharge for that funnle, but even $14.45 + $9.95 is pretty darned pricey for such a simple piece.

I did make the "N" funnel and it works just fine thank you!

So my question really is "how is the 7.62x39 funnel built?" Is it made for the mouth of the case to activate the powder measure, or is the shoulder what the funnel pushes against?

Thank you!

Mike

I went o buy a funnel the other day from the local Dillon stockists, and he had funnels labeled 'AK'
Is there something different between that and the 7.62x39 marked one? (even though same thing?)
