[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1907901, member: 10755"] I will give you the simplest answer I can regarding ‘packing scheme’ of the powder and it’s effects shot to shot. An even fill in the case is easily achieved if you use a powder funnel and hold it such that a continuous ‘tornado’ of powder swirls into the case. At no time should the powder stop swirling and clump up, this defeats the purpose. A fill like this will look very even across the loading block, unlike what as dumped powder heights look like which are normally uneven. This has halved, or even more, my ES and naturally SD numbers when the powder was more than just compressed after being dumped in the case. Accuracy was also improved in most untuned loads, and even some borderline tuned loads. Pressures were more uniform across the pressure trace and no unexpected pressure excursions occurred either using this method. I think there are several YouTube videos showing this technique. It truly does work in your favour, even though it slows the loading process somewhat. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
