The end of my Lee powder funnel hits the case (6.5 PRC) before the case mouth makes contact, resulting in spillage. What are you using for fat cases?

I used a tubing cutter and cut the head off of a 22-250 case. The neck fits into the 6.5PRC neck and has enough length that the
funnel won't hit the shoulder of the PRC case.

Cheap plastic funnel and sand the end down until it doesn’t hit the case.

I was having issues with a 300 wsm case. Bought a caliber specific funnel off ebay that works well on all 308 caliber cartridges.

My standard RCBS funnel works fine for everything I load, including 6.5 PRC.

Same as Hanco,
I drilled out my RCBS funnel and cut it shorter. I load for .270 WSM.
Take a yellow paint pen and marked it as "LARGE" and painted stripes on it. Easy to see and identify on the bench.
Now 300 win mag and down has funnel.
Hope this helps.

HeavyDove. Took a couple minutes to ream it out, forgot I had to cut it off a touch too.

The Satern funnels work great with my 300 WSM and 6.5 WSM, and are not staticky.
