38 Super, 40S&W, 400corbon/45ACP and scale problems.

Does anyone have any pet loads for 38super, 40S&W, 400corbon, and 45ACP?
Also, I have an RCBS electronic scale/dispenser system,Chargemaster 1500). When using Alli ant and Accurate pistol powders,Power Pistol, Bulls eye, BlueDot,No.5, No.9,etc) the flake powder coats on the internal plastic within a couple of hours. Since I load several hundred rounds per event, it takes several hours. By the time I'm done, the powder scaling completely covers the plastic. I clean it using alcohol and stiff brushes and it takes about an hour to clean. I then dry it in front of a fan to evaporate the alcohol. My biggest worry is that the liquid cleaning may hurt the internal parts for the dispenser system. I emailed RCBS twice and have yet to receive a response.
I use a Hornady Pro-Jector progressive press and I have the same problems with these powders in the Hornady automatic powder dispenser. And it has a metal funnel base.
I just started reloading again last year after a 20+ year hiatus. I don't remember these powder interactions from previous experience. Does anybody else have these problems? Is there a coating that can be applied to the dispensers? Any input is greatly appreciated.
 
Regarding your static problem, another forum recently had an extended discussion of this problem. To summarize, the common solution is to wipe down the equipment with a clothes dryer anti-static sheet before use. Someone also introduced a solution of using a paper clip attached to the body of the reservoir that acts to concentrate the static charge and bleed it off to atmosphere. A more formal means is to ground the equipment,bonding).

You will get better response to your request for load recommendations by stating bullet type, and desired velocity or application.
