I emptied my powder hopper and discovered some powder granules under a clear piece in the bottom of hopper. Im unsure how to get them out? I tried a paint brush as well as dryer sheets. Any ideas? I was thinking maybe some anti static spray in hopper? Im not to concerned at moment until I switch powders and dont want them mixing in. Thanks

Maybe compressed air?
I know it is common practice (I know I have been doing it at least 30 years) on shotgun shell reloading to fold and hang a dryer sheet in the powder bottle. I let it stick out the top of the powder bottle and use the plug to hold it in place.
I see no reason it would not work for progressive metallic reloading as well.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Some plastics can be made anti-static by simply using some rubbing alcohols to wipe them down. Give the container a few minutes to completely dry before filling.
