I'm wondering what type of powder funnel will fit into the Dillon .30 powder die/funnel combo I'm going to use. I'm not using their powder measure so I need a funnel to dump from another measure into my case. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

Dillon sells an inexpensive adapter that will allow any make of powder measure to fit the dispensing die in your press. Give them a call.

Item number 16629.
this is available separatly, but I think it IS included with the AT-500 powder die. Call them to be sure.

Or there as an adapter available to mount other brands of measure onto the toolhead.

Re: Dillon powder die ?
I had no idea that they made one. I have four or five Dillon powder dies and never got a funnel. I want to use another measure so I have to find the adapter piece.
Thanks for the help!

Re: Dillon powder die ?
I think it only snaps into the AT-500 die, not the regular powder dies for the 550/650.

Re: Dillon powder die ?
The question I have then is, what powder measure can I use for RL-17 and Varget on this size die?

Re: Dillon powder die ?
Any one you want...the powder funnel for your caliber fits within the die and the powder measure slips into the top.

Re: Dillon powder die ?
Well I have a Lee one currently, and Dillon just told me it won't work with their conversion.
I'll revert back to my previous question and ask, What measure is going to accurately meter RL-17 and Varget?

None match ammo with stick powder = weighing. Throw a few tenths light and trickle to desired weight.

Re: Dillon powder die ?
The whole thing seems to be a run around for me then. If I'm having to pull each case to weigh, it seems like using the Dillon measure would work fine, if I'm trickling a little extra powder anyways.

Your correct to load true match ammo with the Dillon the stock thrower is fine because you need to pull and weigh each charge to be within .1gr accurate.That said try some Ramshot TAC and you will be suprised how good of ammo you can produce just throwing.

Re: Dillon powder die ?
I use a Hornady case activated powder drop with a RCBS Uniflow on my Dillon 550 and rarely cut any kernels with RE15. If I feel a kernel get cut I just pull the case out of station 3 and weigh the charge. I am usually within .1 and very rarely .2 of my target charge weight.

Here is another alternative...

The kit comes with a funnel and tube that fits flush in the powder die.
