This product listing is for a funnel ONLY, no heads included. Use this if you either want an additional funnel for a set you already own, or if you only reload one caliber and want to save some money. Add the interchangeable heads HERE. See either the “Reloader Kit” which includes the funnel and six heads, “Master Kit” which includes six heads and a storage block. Or finally the “Ultimate Kit” which includes the entire “Master Kit” PLUS a 50 place cartridge reloading block engraved with your choice of caliber.
The Area 419 billet aluminum powder funnel uses a system of interchangeable, caliber specific, heads to make it the ultimate funnel for reloaders available today. Universal plastic powder funnels have several issues that are solved with this system.
1. Static cling, plastic is prone to being charged with static and kernels of powder will stick to the walls causing you to have to tap the funnel to get them all to fall.
2. No such thing as universal. There are always cases that just wont work well with the universal design, and funnels tip off and spill powder, or they just plain wont work.
3. Universal means that it has a hole meant for 22 caliber. So if you are trying to dump 90 grains into a big magnum, you are waiting a long time for the powder to fill.
The Area 419 Funnel’s interchangeable heads thread onto the funnel and are neck diameter specific for each caliber. The do not rely on fitting over the body of the case to hold in place. They are sized slightly larger than the neck diameter so that they hold solid on the case. Each head has a bore sized a few thousandths smaller than the bullet diameter, so maximum flow is achieved for each caliber. This is huge for the super ultra magnum guys (375 Cheytac, 408 Cheytac, 50 BMG, etc). The interface between the heads and the funnel is designed in such a way that no kernels can ever get stuck between the two, as long as the head is tightened completely.
The Funnel’s design is both aesthetic and performance driven. Being machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum means no static charge to cling kernels to the funnel walls. This also makes it far safer for use with black powder.
- “Flutes” on the outside are for looks, on the inside though, they disturb the powder kernels from trying to jam up at the neck. It also gives some airspace so they do not get packed up so tightly, all aimed to increase flow through the nozzle.
- 3/8″ tall straight section at the top to help prevent kernels of powder from bouncing out when poured in.
- Smooth surfaces at the neck of the funnel and inside the heads promote quick flow and prevent any sticking kernels.
- MADE IN USA! From USA made aluminum, on a USA made HAAS mill, with USA made cutting tools!

The design is substantially better than your basic plastic models. It’s heavier but not too heavy, and powder flows though it very easily. It’s a really cool addition to the reloading bench.

While this funnel seems overly pricey, it is well worth it. I have been using plastic funnels in the past, with all their inherent problems, and never realized what I was missing out on. Especially beneficial was loading .223 brass. No more trying to get the powder to go in and getting caught on the outside of the cartridge mouth. Now it easily drops straight into the cartridge.
The threaded adapters for the various cartridge cases is also a space saving plus and gives you a precise alignment.
