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 fit.
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. They 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.
- NEW! Machined in handles to give you a grip if you like to grab the funnel from the side instead of top. Symmetrical design means the funnel no longer tips to the side.
- MADE IN USA! From USA made aluminum, on a USA made HAAS mill, with USA made cutting tools!
Billet Storage Block
- Machined in house from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, every single surface of the block is machined.
- Holds the funnel with or without a head attached as well as 10 spots for heads or drop tubes to be stored
- Front six head storage locations are engraved for standard calibers.
- Rubber feet on the bottom keep from sliding around on your bench

The machine work is 1st rate as expected but even the packaging is nice. I paid almost $30 for a single sized caliber funnel of another brand. When you consider what you’re getting here its a great deal. No more clogged static filled plastic funnels for me.

I received my funnel set and wanted to say how pleased I am with the quality and performance. I’ve used Satern funnels up to this point but yours are far superior. Powder fills the case evenly, doesn’t stick to the funnel and as a bonus the funnel makes a pleasing ringing sound as the powder spirals into the case. The different adaptors fit the cases perfectly and are heavy enough so you don’t have to worry about it tipping.
Thanks for the great product!

One of the best upgrades i have made for my reloading bench. Very well machined and different heads fit perfectly.
All the upgrade parts at Area 419 are top notch. Anything on the site is 5 stars

I was really hesitate to spend so much for a funnel, but it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. No more static cling or having the powder clog up. I highly recommend it.

Great quality funnel kit. Ordered four drop tubes at time purchase and overall quality is great. Best part of area 419 products are your buying for life. Quality/Material/Service all top notch.
Travis Hamilton –
The master funnel kit is top notch. No more tapping h4350 in to a 6mm or 6.5mm case. It really speeds things up and no frustration. I’m using it from 223 to 300wm and very soon I’ll be using it to reload 357max. Area419 puts out some great quality and innovative products. Now I need the powder cup.

I got my funnel kit a while back and it has been great! They’re so easy to use and absolutely no powder sticks to the funnel. Definitely worth the money. I would definitely recommend to any reloader.

The attention to detail is incredible. Be forwarned that it is addictive and you will want one of every product the make. Great products guys!

I always used the crappy plastic funnels you buy for a couple bucks. I recently saw these and, since I was upgrading my equipment, I ordered a set. Holy smoke, what a difference! No powder bridging AT ALL! The quality is amazing and it just looks badass.

The funnel kit is one of my favorite pieces of gear on my reloading bench. This simple items speeds up the pace and keeps things flowing smooth. No more tapping, shaking, and checking to see if the powder made its way into a case! If you need a long tube just screw it on! Going from 6.5 to 223 to 338… just change the tip! Thanks for putting these together guys! Always innovating! Always looking forward!

These really have no description. They just plain work. They are quick, no static, no powder sticking to the sides, no need to tap to get the powder to drop…just a great quality product an awesome company to work with..

I purchased one of the first funnel kits. I have used it a lot. It is by far the best funnel out there. With other funnels you need to use a drop tube to get the powder compressed. I have not had to use one to get the results I am after. Heads have all fit great so far. Fit and finish is great.

Best funnel I’ve ever used. I have cheap plastic green funnels and static and not always flowing was an issue. Bought a hardcore gear aluminum funnel, nice but small and caliber specific. This funnel works great on all my calibers and being able to adapt it to my standard Dillon powder die and not needing a different die like with the Dillon funnel attachment is awesome. It’s big, no issues with blockage, look amazing and fits great.

I’ve had my master funnel kit since inception via snipershide threads.
This is a very good piece of kit. Is it worth it to all reloaders? Not up front but let me
Explain…
-stackable drop tubes. This helps immensely when throwing powder and you need good compression, especially
For magnums. You can achieve this by throwing powder on a short little funnel and shaking it around to let it settle. Saves time and possible spillage here.
-machines aluminum with threading. Nicely made and not smooth ended which can cause uneven fitment for “universal style” type funnels.
-caliber specific inserts: reason why Saturn funnels did very well was due to aluminum construction, smooth powder flow (no static clinging) and caliber specific threads.
Problems were adding drop tubes required modification and you need to buy multiple funnels to make calibers work. Area 419 solved this albeit at a reflected price.
Do you need all the inserts? No; but they’re handy to have in case.
Bottom line: smooth , unobstructed and clean flow of powder into your case.

I’ve had this funnel kit for 8+ months now. Its the only funnel kit I will ever need and is well worth the money. Thank you Area 419 for a quality product.
Brian Squires –

An elegant piece that performs as well as it looks. Every kernel of powder in the case everytime. It simply delivers the powder with precision as designed.

Very high quality like all Area 419 products. Replaced all of my funnels with the one simple kit. Powder flows perfectly and you don’t have to worry about clogging it up.

Received my funnel and tips today. The quality is unsurpassed. Powder just slides down the funnel.

I’ve had this kit for a couple of months, and it was a much needed upgrade from the plastic funnels that I had been using. I use this kit for 4 different calibers, and the interchangeable, caliber specific, heads seal around the case mouths perfectly. The powder flows smoothly without sticking (no static cling) to any of the funnel parts. The caliber heads screw on easily and securely, and with the storage base I know exactly where the required head is.
For compressed or full case charges, I would recommend getting the drop tube to help compact the powder into the cases better. Buy this Funnel Kit and you will not be disappointed.
I cannot recommend this kit, or any of the Area 419 products, any higher. The RCBS Chargemaster 1500 metal pan and cup are unbelievable, and the Hellfire Breaks are the best I’ve ever tried, and I now have 3.

Sure wasn’t made in Asia to be as cheap as possible. Boy, am I glad. Stick powder has been a problem with every funnel I have tried, not this one. If a funnel can be called precision, this one is for sure. Thought about those ‘caliber specific’ funnels but could not justify cost for nine or ten. Base is a piece of art. A+++

I have always appreciated fine workmanship and this is an excellent example of just that. The set arrived today and the fit and finish is flawless and it will last forever – unlike plastic funnels that have cracked. I tested several cases with the different heads and the fit is just like the rest of the unit – excellent. This is not an inexpensive shooting accessory, but one that is well worth the money. The only thing that could make it better would be the ability to select the heads that would come with the set. This is a great investment and an item that I am sure will be here long after I am gone.
