Powder Funnel Set Up for a Dillon 550C

[Nicoli7153]

Doesn't look like Varget is going to meter well in my 550 powder measure. Is there a funnel system out there that will work in the powder die with the insert? I have an RCBS powder measure with a micrometer adjustment that I can use to measure powder. Thought it might be better to dump it into the case through the die when it advances to station #2.

Use the Area419 setup. They make a special insert for the top of it. I've used it a lot and it's really good.
https://www.area419.com/product/funnelheads/ and use the drop down to select Dillon. They you just screw it onto their funnel system and you're good to go.

Thanks very much! Had looked at them but didn't see the Dillon option in the drop down box!

The area 419 price stings for a funnel. But it's crazy nice. And it works perfectly for dropping powder through the dillon. I've checked and checked and haven't had a kernel hang up or anything. The design and weight of it make it sit pretty tight and sturdy.

There are others too, and I have probably tried them all at some point. Hornady and Lee also make powder through funnel dies, but I'm hooked on the Area419 version.
The Lee designs have risers as well. (I gave their case actuated powder drops a try and was surprised how a $35 rig performed as good or better than ones that cost me five times as much.)
The Area 419 design costs more but is worth in my opinion. The drop tube also helps with clearance to neighboring dies.

I've got the whole setup on the way, including the extension tube so it will clear my micrometer seating die. Thanks to all!
