In my long-ago reloading life, the only problems I ever had with static charge was reloading 28 ga. with 800X powder. I 4X steel wool polished and charged the drop tube of my MEC progressive press with Motor Mica and ran a fine copper wire from a screw on the press up to an overhead metal ceiling hanger in the rafters of my gun room before I got satisfactory drops. I initially diagnosed the problem using Chuck's exact process, then repeated it after the modifications described above. I got good consistent drops afterwards.
