I picked up a Forester drop tube to try and get a more even fill in my 22 elkmoor cases. Well all the powder lodged in the tube.
What's a good static proof drop tube? Fixing to just buy the area 419.

I have the 419 funnels and one of their drop tubes. Their funnel and caliber adaptors are awesome and I have no desire to replace them. One drop tube helps, but I think a second is needed for better “packing”. I still feel like an electric toothbrush will yield the best results for packing, but I haven’t tried it.

I haven’t had a single issue with the 419 funnel, caliber adaptors, or drop tube for anything, including static
 
The area 419 is slick. That would get my vote. As mentioned, an electric toothbrush can help settle it as well.
 
The area 419 set is nice. The funnel is ribbed and oversized as well as the ID of the drop tube. The drop tube set is massive and Heavy duty compared to some others but it flows powder better than the few others I’ve had. Just make sure your case fits your reloading tray well so everything doesn’t tilt over 20–30 degrees when you set it on the case. I only need it for cartridges that run n570. And go ahead and get 5 sections because sometimes 3 or 4 is not enough height to pack the powder down.
