Looking for a .224 powder funnel that won,t leak or spill powder. I have a RCBS and a unknown funnel that work with other calibers but not 22. Looking for suggestions. Thanks

I got a funnel kit from Frankford Arsenal with interchangeable caliber specific nozzles. This has been the answer for me.

Satern. Tough to go back once you use them.

I use a MTM with different nozzles. I use the 17 cal for my .222 and .218 B. I use a Lee for my .22-250!

I started out at reloading with the RCBS funnel that was labeled 22 cal. and up. When it came to loading 22 Hornet, it became obvious that that funnel would let powder trickle around the outside of the case.
At this point, I tried the MTM funnel with interchangeable nozzles. It worked out ok with extruded powders but with smaller ball powders a portion of the charge would migrate and hang up in the little crevasses where the interchangeable spouts met the funnel body.
I then went with the RCBS 17 cal. funnel, and have been using it ever since for 22 cartridges, though extruded powders must be poured into it slowly to avoid the powder bridging and clogging up.
Those Saturn funnels look pretty good, but I haven't tried them.
Think.
It's not illegal, yet.

I just ordered 4 Saturns. .308, .277, .22, and 6mm.
That will cover most of my reloading.
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to try the Saturn. I get tired of cleaning up spilled powder, especially Tac.

I don't know when or where I got them but I have two aluminum funnels that work just fine on .22 Hornet and .223 Rem. One I left as is for the .22s and the other has a 6" soda straw fastened in place that I use as a drop tube. Been using them for years.

What I like about the Satern funnel is the fit between it and the case is precise. Because it is calibre specific, the funnel doesn’t move or allow powder to escape onto the tray. They do not wobble.
There are no small pieces to lose.
As well, they are aluminum. There is no static build up that some people see with plastic funnels. If you have a problem with static and are using plastic, wash the funnel with dish soap and water. That should stop the problem.
