    I had saturn funnels for three cals and there is no question they were all good, but very delicate and prone to deforming.

    I created a more consistent/better balanced funnel using a well worn old plastic funnel, a sacrificial case and some metal putty.
    A little time with the dremmel tool, some acetone (nail polish remover) to smooth the finish, and it fitted better than anything else I've used.

    I treated myself to an Area419 funnel set a few years ago and it's excellent. Bloomin pricey but it's really nice to use.
    The toxicity of lead varies, depending upon the weight of its doseage and its velocity!

    It's aluminium. It doesn't appeal to be honest.

    An inexpensive LEE or Lyman will do the trick. I have Saturn versions and I've seen more powder stuck to them than the Lee although the quality and engineering is a country mile better.
