[QUOTE="Bigdad, post: 2257925, member: 5072"] I have the Lyman funnel set. Its ok but I had some issues with it. The caliber specific inserts use rubber o-rings to hold the insert in the funnel. I noticed due to friction the inserts would push back out a 16th inch or so which allowed powder to get into the gap between the insert and the funnel causing a few kernels of power not to drop onto the cartridge case. I put a very small amount of silicon grease on the o-ring which allowed the insert to push all the way into the funnel and stay in place. Also so on some cartridges, the inserts don't fit the necks closely and lean badly or even fall off when placed on my 6.5 CM cases. As I don't load for any .243 cartridges, I drilled out the .243 insert to fit the .264 case necks and now I'm able to place the funnel on a cartridge in a loading tray without it leaning or falling off.
