    How do you clean your powder measurement devices

    Loading some rifle loads i noticed when i poured a powder charge 1 donut granule ( trail boss ) in my 4198 charge as i poured it in the case .

    My lineman extruder i tell the machine to dump a 1000 grain charge as im cleaning the powder trawf . Getting all the powder i can out of the machine .



    I know not to mix powder , but is residual powder going to be a saftey issue?

    I just loaded about 90 of these .

    I take my hopper off the press and blow it out with some canned compressed air.


    But one or two granules of a different powder, I tend to not worry all that much.

    I wipe mine down with dryer wipes. Gets rid of static and cleans stuff out.

    Same. I have a small compressor in my reloading room.

    I do the same and actually have all of my powder measure hoppers stuffed with dryer sheets, no static at all. I also use compressed air at times.
