It's conclusive, DON'T USE pure acetone on the RCBS Uniflow powder hopper...

Re: Cleaning RCBS powder thrower
I thought my little experiment would make you laugh...
I wonder, is it the acetate in the propellant that makes the clear plastic go cloudy then? Hence why you should empty it after use.

Re: Cleaning RCBS powder thrower
As I said earlier, my concern was the acetone may have an adverse effect on the propellant, no one flagged this and I wasn't concerned about the state of the plastic. The mark on the plastic is about 2mm x 2mm and it isn't visible, so no harm done.

Re: Cleaning RCBS powder thrower
Why would you want to put the acetone in contact with the propellant?

I meant indirectly, by using it to remove the anti-rust agent RCBS put in the powder thrower.
