Alpha Dropper Powder Funnel

$37.00

2/2/2024:  Our order of Brass Juice Case Lube is on the way.  We will have it as a separate or combo along with the Alpha Dropper... It really is the best case lube out there.

10/09/2023:  Parts are shipping out to Black Nitride.  You may place your order, but do understand you will have a TWO WEEK DELAY.  Note: Due to material cost and labor shortages, there is a price increase of $3 on these funnels.

 

Reloader's rejoice... The Alpha Dropper Powder Funnel is here and it’s compatible with All Dillon powder measures.  This funnel was designed from scratch and takes care of any and all issues associated with the sub par funnels that were previously available.  This is compatitlbe with bullet feeding dies.

The benefits:

- Material used is overkill... 30 Hrc internally hardness with a 67 Hrc hard low friction surface finish.  

-No more sticky scratched up worn out funnels.

-The machine polished punch tip is tapered to greatly reduce the sticky release chunk on the upstroke.

-That same taper is perfectly sized to capture your bullet tightly.  All bullet types tested 100%.  Your bullet tipping over on index problem is now reduced.

-Ported and polished powder path for maximum flow and it’s Larger than anything available.

-With the Alpha Dropper you will experience a more consistent powder flow rate as well as tight bullet placement. It’s the last powder funnel that you will ever need to purchase.

SETUP NOTES, PLEASE READ

** Powder measure die adjustment IS needed....

** DO NOT DRIVE THE FUNNEL TO FULL DEPTH... that will over bell the case and kill bullet neck tension.  The chart above is a starting point.

** Measure your previous brass for your favorite bell diameter.. setup the Alpha Dropper to match OR LESS, but do understand that unless you run new brass, you have lots of variables.  The Alpha Dropper will typically run perfectly with way LESS bell.. remember it's a taper now... 

** Some have reported of their Alpha Dropper top funnel locking onto the Dillon powder measure out tube.. don't panic.  We have great reports from commercial reloaders of a more consistent charge.. It rides with the measure and doesn't allow for loose powder to get caught in the gap.

** 9mm/38sc Typical Brass Bell measured Outer Diameter: 0.385-0.390.  Also refer to chart above.

** 40s&w/10mm Typical Brass Bell measured Outer Diameter: 0.435.  Also refer to chart above.

** Keep your funnel clean, we recommend using XXXX Steel Wool.

** We also recommend using Brass Juice case lube for your reloading.

Great upgrade

This is a great upgrade over the Dillon or DAA powder funnel. The funnel doesn’t stick in the casing and it also does a great job with expansion. Able to load coated bullets without having to have an excessive flare and it keeps the bullets from toppling over when indexing.

Alpha Dropper Powder Funnel

Flares the case much better that the stock Dillon without over flaring. I still get sticking but no where as bad. I will still say it’s an improvement over the stock funnel.
