i've now seen two references to using dryer sheets in reloading.
1. to wipe out your powder dispenser in order to remove static that keeps the powder sticking 2. added to tumbler media to remove static and help keep the media clean and longer lasting my question is what kind of dryer sheets? i was as the store yesterday trying to buy some but all of the dryer sheets were also fabric softner sheets. i couldn't find any plain (no fufu scent) static reducing dryer sheets. i didn't want to use a fabric softner sheet to wipe my dispenser as i don't know how the softner chemical might affect my powder. is there a magic sheet you are all using? thanks |

I've never had issues with static on my powder dispenser, so I can't help you there.
With the tumblers, I tried both used and new dryer sheets (fabric softener) - they both came out extremely dirty, but I think I'd have to use up a whole damn box to get any noticable difference in dust. |

The used sheets don't smell as bad as new ones, and I don't sniff them. i didn't want to use a fabric softner sheet to wipe my dispenser as i don't know how the softner chemical might affect my powder. is there a magic sheet you are all using? Just get the wife to save the used ones, those are the correct ones. thanks |

i picked up a can of static guard today and i'll use some paper towel. not sure why but i'm getting static buildup in my powder dispenser and it affects ball and extruded powders. i used alcohol to remove the static once and then i tried some window cleaner (read it on another forum) to do the same. the alcohol worked but it didn't last long. the window cleaner didn't do the job. i don't have anything big and metal in my work room to try to ground my dispenser to, my reloading bench is all wood. i have to laugh at how stupid this problem is. i'm just glad i've still got all my fingers 
i do appreciate the insight guys. you've insprired me to get some unscented dryer sheets. soft undies...that's gonna be nice... |

| Get ya to the dollar stores and buy cheap ones with no scent.Those are magic things for not just reloading help,tie one in the adjuster of your baseball cap to keep the bugs off your neck and around the upper part of the body.They will also work with not much rubbing to take the dark dirty grunge off your car finish if you park outside and are in forested areas with popple,birch oak ect. and do not clean it only if it rains |
