I guys,
As I was looking threw my Dillon plates and button and powder funnels my 223 (A) funnel was gone. I have never run 223 threw my Dillon because I swore 25 years ago That I would never load 223. Things change and I am now going to load several 223 so I want to use one of my Dillons. Is the A funnel about 11/2-2" long??
I would be great full for the help.

My 223 funnel is about 2 3/4" long, and I could swear it says "F" on it, but it is kinda double stamped so I can't tell for sure.

My "A" funnel is 1.975 inches long. The "throat" opening is.255 inches. Hope this helps..

An "F" funnel is for 9mm and some 38s. They are usually longer than the .223 funnels. The "F" flairs the case. The "A" funnel does not.

Dillon has a PDF file that has all the different pieces required for each cartridge. I refer to mine all the time.
