Powder Funnel

[hunterjmj]

I bought a machined aluminum powder funnel for my 300WM probably 5 years ago and I'd like to buy another for 223 but I cannot remember the name of the company. They are in Idaho and each funnel/caliber is color coded.
Can you guys help me find out who it was? They also made a sweet bolt knob with knurling to match the Nightforce knurling on the focus and turrets.

Sounds like Saturn or mk machining

That's it. Dang, I tried google searching custom fennels, reloading funnels, etc without luck. Thank you. Precision hardcore gear makes some nice stuff.

Yeah I’ve bought a few things from them so I knew who you were talking about right away!

 

[hunterjmj]

That's awesome! Really appreciate it. I'm going to start getting parts for a .223 rifle so I need the funnel. Those funnels are the cats meow.

Oh you’re getting yourself into a hole now! I bought a Tikka .223 off of here in April and the rest of my rifles have been sitting idle in the safe ever since!

I know. I made the mistake of reading the 223 thread now I have to have one. Im going to replicate my 300wm without a muzzle brake.

I still love my big guns but I can’t bring myself to bother shooting them anymore when this .223 is so much fun to plink with. It’s really taught me to read the wind. I could cheat it quite a bit with 210’s out of my 300WM but there’s no cheating it with the .223

I'm sure! I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be at least a year before I pull the trigger. Have to buy reloading stuff for it, stock, barrel, action, etc. I can't afford it all at once so a little at a time. I shot a .17 REM for years on coyotes so I'm excited for a small caliber again. Do you shoot 210 VLD? Never tried those since I shot the 215 hybrid but I'm about out so I have a decent amount of 200.20x to start on after I shoot the 215's up. Curious how these will shoot.

That’s a good call, I bought mine ready to roll with a scope, Lapua brass and 77TMK’s included so I just pulled the trigger. I already had a boatload of Varget so it made sense for me.

I’ve had great luck with the 210 VLD’s. I’ve got around 1,000 of them still so I have no plans to change. I use 7828SSC and push them right close to 3K FPS. Retumbo will push them even faster but I don’t feel the need.

Custom fennels are big in the licorice racket.
J/K glad you found it

If I didn't want to mimick my 300 I'd just buy a tikka. I'm planning on the 77 TMK as well. I'll have to pick your brain a bit when the time comes to start loading.
I've got about 10 lbs of H1000 left and it's a good match for the 215. Im running around 2850. I could probably speed that up as well but it's a shooter right where it's at so I just load the same thing.

Thanks. I was getting worried they were out of business.

@amassi is actually who I bought the gun from I’m pretty sure I just mimicked his loads and they ended up being around a 1moa 10 shot group. My only issue now is finding more 77gr TMK’s haha

I just saw (8) 500 count boxes at the local store on Thursday. $190ish I think

 

[DakotaBPNW]

Man I haven’t seen anything here in Oregon, I’ll have to hunt a little harder though. I mostly gave up on checking local stores after they started price gouging on powder and primers

 

[hunterjmj]

If I knew then what I know now I'd have enough 215's, CCI 250's and H1000 for a lifetime. I just paid $59.99 for a pound of H1000 a couple weeks ago. I use to buy a pound of powder, box of bullets and a couple hundred primers without thinking it would go away. I took those times for granted.
