Every thread I read says they used a dremel. I don't have dremel and don't plan on buying one just to polish a powder measure
Looks like it's doable by hand and a two step process? a) sand with 400 or 800 grit sand paper OR 0000 steel wool. Alternatively came across people using Scotchbrite pads or a Magic Eraser b) rub Flitz on it and buff away Is that all there is too it? Flitz is hard to find. Had to order a small tube from eBay

I'm sure once you have a Dremel; you will find many more uses for it. Mine barely gets a rest.

Find the Q tips with a 6 inch wood shaft. Medical/gun cleaning type.
Spin Q tip with drill after putting polishing compound on Q tip. Much pressure and the wood dowel breaks. So slow and easy. |

Even a USGI patch tip and a drill, use 0000 Steel wool, build up the patch tip like a metal Q tip, go to town.

Good info above. For pistol funnels, polishing the outside helps with any case sticking. I just spin it in my hand.

Yep, I use Flitz and my Dremmel on all of the feed ramps in my pistols as well. Polished my Dillon powder drop as well. Great tools to have on hand for all kinds of stuff.
