whats with the wire nuts at your outlet? That looks super bad. If you are trying to ground something, get a wire-terminal plug and just wire the ground pin. Or better yet, if you have a water pipe nearby, clamp a wire to that.

 

There is a nothing connected to these wires.
This is my garage. It will be 109 today. Dryer sheets work well.
This post is about the fact that I can see clearly that my powder and shot are easy to see. This keeps me from running out of either one as it is clearly visable.
This is a well designed alternative to the old style.
Thanks again Jim for manufacturing this great product!

I'm assuming you are referring to the Jim Skeel powder and shot reservoirs. But most people will be asking about the wires. What up with those? Static electricity mitigation? If so, doesn't seem to be working from the looks of the powder flakes stuck to the inside of the powder tube.

Grounding a metal cap on a tube made of an insulator (glass or plastic) will not reduce the static charge on the tube. You could try running a humidifier in the room. That will lower static charge everywhere in the room
.

 

Wipe the inside of the powder resivoir with a dryer sheet. I did on mine and no more sticking.

 

I was wondering the bore brush is for.

 

Used for changing shot & powder bushings.

 

Sorry for bringing up the wires. You will have to admit from the pic in your OP they do kind of look like they are attached to the reloader. Static remediation was the only thing I could think of (and I know grounding the loader doesn't work).

 

I PM and apologize for my rude response. I went back and removed the unkind words. That is why I posted the last pictures.
Been a long morning. I had no right to take my bad day out on him.
I do agree with you.

....I think if you stick those loose wire ends in a potato, the light will work!

 

Your right I might give it a try.lol

 

I’m a fan of the dryer sheets!

 

I have found that some of the dryer sheet work better than others. I am using the cheap ones. Probably why there is some residue. My powder does not clump.
The baffle works great.

I have the powder reservoir for my spolar and its great

 

I always thought the pyrex bottles were supposed to eliminate static problems.

 

Except. Benjamin Franklin’s static generator was a glass globe spun up. Made HIGH voltage.

 

I have a pair of Jack Jones pyrex bottles on my Spolar and have never had a problem with static .....

 

I have the Spolar bottles and don't have trouble. Perhaps the more arid climate induces the static more readily.

 

Hi,
I made my own, but I have a Lathe.

Going from 1/16" to 1/8" wall thickness DOES make a difference!

 

Really nice to have the right tools for the job
Steve

 

I have no idea why people are complaining. That is the 5th batch of 700x I have run through the tube. When I finish this batch I will use the dryer sheets again. The powder does not clump together. The powder drops are consistent and so are the shot.
Just curious anyone have pictures of major problems with These tubes.

Today we are expecting to have thunder storm in various parts of the county. I would expect static electricity then. Right now it is 102 clear and dry heat.

Thanks for your help and conversation on this topic.
Steve

 

They look nice. Like Fancy wheels on a 63 Nova, but just not required.
52 years of reloading and never had a problem seeing thru the bottles.
Never had a problem with static electricity ( maybe just luck).
I think I'll save my money for shot and powder in the bottles. .. JMHO

 

Great paint job.
Do you show it?

Clark Griswold doing electrical work now?

I enjoyed those movies
