There was a discussion in the past about baffles to maintain the same level or density of powder in the measure column for drop consistency and Unclenick shared a detailed plan whereby we could make our own.
I happened to come cross this idea as I loaded up .38 Specials and 9mm Luger rounds and I wondered what the opinion might be as to the comparability of effectiveness.
I have a Redding Powder Dispenser that has an approximately 6.25 inch powder reservoir. I have a wide-mouth household hard plastic funnel with a 2-inch drop tube that I thoroughly coated with graphite powder. If I put about 4.5 inches of powder into the reservoir, place the funnel on top and fill it about a third full, the drop tube sits slightly inside the powder column and that position is maintained as I crank out my loads as long as I keep sufficient powder in the funnel.
I have the impression this is essentially what the baffles that were previously discussed do. Am I wrong?
