This Powder Funnel is specially designed for the needs of bullseye shooters loading the ZERO Bullets 148 grain Hollow Base Wad Cutter (HBWC) bullet in .38 Special cartridges. These bullets are much longer than normal bullets and seated flush to the case mouth. The original powder funnels just don't reach deeply enough into the case to properly prepare the case for seating these bullets withough sweging the bullet base. Can also be used with the the ZERO DEWC version of this bullet.

NOTE: A Lee factory Crimp die must be used with this powder funnel.

"Difference comes from the bullet’s dimensions. Zero is “skinny” in comparison with Remington HBWC – 0.3585” OD versus 0.3605” +. So it makes Zero closer to most DEWC bullets OD wise (and PTU sized for those). Yet, Zero is loooong, just as long as Remington, - in 0.625” OAL range. Hence if someone to use HBWC version PTU, Zero would sunk in all way down without any resistance and no neck tension at the base of the bullet – not good! If someone to use DEWC PTU, in order to get Zero bullet down to proper seating depth without swaging base of the bullet, case would have to be expanded with mouth getting to Philadelphia bell size. Needless to say, accuracy of the resulting ammo would be compromised with either HBWC or DEWC PTUs. If that doesn’t present concern, Zero bullets can be loaded with either. I personally loaded Zeros with HBWC version of PTU. However I load 38WC on RL1050. I have taper crimp on station 6, and then Lee FCD with crimp portion removed (lifted) on station 7. Yet, I didn’t feel that accuracy was adequate. That’s what drove me to machine dedicated PTU for Zeros. Pretty much market driven, as there are no more Remingtons. The only viable and more or less stable alternative is Zero (both HBWC and DEWC versions)!"
