static buildup on powder measure

[ruger 77]

i have static buildup on both my powder measure and powder funnel. the grains of powder are sticking to the sides of the hopper. does anyone know how to get rid of this?

I,ve had the same problem now and again. I take a bounce sheet and wipe everything down with it and it seems to solve the problem. Also make the reloading gear smell nice!!!.....Ken

....or Mica coat everything, but I hear the dryer sheets work well.

Have been using the dryer sheets ever since I first heard of it on here. Works like a charm.

Also take a dryer sheet and fold in half and wrap around your powder measure and hold in place with an elastic.

I just take one of those anti-static strips and drape it into the hopper with a little bit of a tail held in place by the lid. Another option is to simply take one of those strips and rub the inside of the reservoir down with the strip, transferring the anti-static stuff to the insides of the hopper. Repeat as needed when you note the anti-static is wearing off.

Wash the plastic parts with lots of soap detergent and then let air dry with no rinse. The detergent residue prevents the static.

maybe time to turn up the humidifyer?
