Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Al - HandLoader Forum Powder and static

I've got problems with static electricity when reloading. The powder sticks to everything. When adjusting powder thrower, I'll tare out the brass, throw a charge, check the weight, and dump it if not what I'm looking for. It even sticks in the brass.

I've got carpet, maybe I need to put a rubber mat down?

Finer powders will tend to stick but florescent lights and carpet will make static worse

I wipe all my dispensers down with a dryer sheet. I dont know why but it helps

Dang, have just installed a florescent light. Looking for a rubber mat to put down.

Will give dryer sheets a shot also.

I've had a fluorescent hanging over my bench for years, and the bench sitting on carpet for years and never had a static problem. I do periodically wipe down the hopper with a dryer sheet however. A fluorescent will for sure mess with an electronic scale. When my light finally went out a year or so ago, I installed magnetic LED strips in the fixture.

Used dryer sheets work better for me
