Cleaning your powder measure

[TScottW99]

Was wondering how you guys clean your powder measures to be sure all powder is out before switching to another powder.

Going from Varget to RL19 is not a problem. However getting H110 out of my RCBS powder measure is a pain! Worried I might leave some behind and really do not want to mix H110 with Varget or Unique :shock:

I use a lee powder measure (very cheap but does the job) and I simply dump out the container and rund the dispenser rough a few times until there is nothing coming out of it anymore.

I do the same with my RCBS powder dispenser.

That is how I do regular powders. However, H110 likes to sick down at the bottom, very frustrating.

I use H110 for a 357Mag of mine, and I have come to keep a thin cloth rag handy and just pull it through afterward to get out any remaining powder kernels. Kind of a sloppy boresnake for the powder measure. Works pretty well. Better than burning it out, which I tried once. Worked great, but took a lot longer to get the soot out of the measure!
