WHAT'S YOUR SOLUTION FOR STATIC

[77REBELBOWTIE]

I've read people talking about static affecting reloading. I have dealt with static causing other types of powder and small particulate substances to stick to plastic. Should you use something to ground equipment or wear something that doesn't create static? Like you wear when working with electronics. Is there a difference between a wooden work bench and a metal one, as far as static?

I keep a dryer sheet under the powder cap, and wipe the scale and other pieces with another dryer sheet.

I store my empty powder measures with a dryer sheet in them. Wipe everything down with them also. Smells fresh.

I do not do anything. That is not to say no one else should. I have just never had an issue.....in 25+ years. I do have to tap the side of my funnels and powder drop to get every grain to fall. I use a wooden bench.

Exactly what was said above about dryer sheets. My powder measure has one it it right now. I keep one in it unless I'm using it. Also wipe down the powder scale with one before and after every use. Keeps the static away and helps the powder to all come out when using and after. Best, cheapest thing to do.

Not inexpensive, but these are about the best thing I have used to eliminate static.

You can get a lot of dryer sheets for that money........
