    Rub some powdered graphite on inside and out of the funnel. Also powder measure hopper if you use one.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    There are some aluminium powder funnels sor sale sometimes. I have a Lyman aluminium model with interchangeable calibre inserts that plug into the the funnel spout. Works a treat.
    Keep an eye open and grab one if you see it somewhere.

    Rinse in dishwashing liquid and water and air dry. Don't wipe it dry.
