Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing powdered material includes a funnel and an interchangeable adapter. The funnel has an inlet, an outlet, and a threaded coupling disposed below the outlet. The annular adapter includes a complimentary threaded coupling configured to selectively engage with the threaded coupling disposed on the funnel, and the adapter has an internal passage therethrough. The passage includes an inlet and a first tapered section extending downwardly from the inlet, with the first tapered section having a first draft angle. The passage includes a second tapered section extending downwardly from the first tapered section, with the second tapered section having a second draft angle. The inlet of the internal passage has a diameter greater than a diameter of the outlet of the funnel, and the first draft angle is greater than the second draft angle.

Abstract: A system, device and method for accurately and efficiently dispensing powder for loading ammunition. The dispenser or loader is configured to autonomously determine the powder type and the dispense rate of powder is determined for selected rotational speeds based on powder type. The most efficient dispensing regime is determined using a number of fixed speeds of barrel rotation wherein switch points among the speeds of barrel rotation, stopping points and trickle rates to approach a target weight without overshooting.
