That way gives me pretty darn consistent charges...


This is what I do, except for the part about the trickler; I have never had the patience to use it. I just dribble in more powder from a small dipper. Sometimes I have to take a little back out of the pan with the dipper, but it still is faster and less annoying than getting that #%$^ trickler "primed" and clearing it out when done. Different stubborn old men have different methods. smile

On another note, the "let it flow over the dipper" method seems like it requires a rather large quantity of powder for it to work as stated. What happens when (a less-than-well-suppled) person gets down below that amount of powder?
