[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3076397, member: 10755"] There is a lot to be learned by the ‘packing scheme’ of the cartridge. Loose powder will burn differently from shot to shot. This is why when you pick a load that is compressed, you use a technique called ‘swirling’ the powder charge into the case using a funnel. It causes powder to settle more uniformly changing the internal ballistics. You can see this yourself, pour powder in with a funnel, let it bridge and fall normally, then hold the funnel at an angle, pour the powder so that it rotates like a tornado around the funnels axis and then look at the powder height in the case… Cheers.
