Thanks for your replies. We are reloading ONLY blanks for cowboy mounted shooting so we don't require precision when measuring, which made us think we could possibly mix a smokeless powder with graphite with the blackpowder to absborb any static charge. Supposedly though you are not supposed to run blackpowder through these plastic measurers. Something on the instructions say that you should run so much smokeless powder through the measurer first?
