Gambler: I use 2 kinds: 1. Go to your local "love toys store"... it is about 3" long in the shape of a silver torpedo (round at one end) and has a 3 speed button: High-Medium and Low. A big rip off price of 20 bucks but works great 2. An older Sonicare tooth brush with variable speed control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Unless you're totally stone-deaf, if you stick the bullet end in the small end of a powder funnel, hold it up by your ear, and shake it, you can definitely hear the powder inside. Works just like one of those old timey hearing horns they'd stick in their ear to amplify things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakebite Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 This list is invalid because Batteries are listed twice. In the PROTUS telephone conversation with the Ukraine President, batteries were only mentioned one time. Therefore this list has been "Doctored", and can not be accepted as accurate.

I use a RCBS plastic funnel, which works better than metal. It does not work if you load up black powder. Powders such as Titegroup that leave a lot of room in the case can be heard fairly easily. Of course, if one has bad ears, it doesn't work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimore Ed Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Speakin of bandaids did anyone mention duck tape or duct tape, you know what I mean.
