I hear folks speak of "bumping" a powder drop when using it? What does this mean? When I use mine, I always tap it a couple times on the side when flipping the lever? I didn't know if this was the same thing. Inquiring minds want to know.
I use a Redding BR-30 and I do not tap, knock, whatever. I grasp the throw handle in such a way to make a slow, high torque back and forth motion. This avoids vibration and bumps when throwing long kernel extruded powders. The handle doesn't stop, it just shears right through.
I do the tap, tap....only because I cant break myself of the habit. When I try not to tap, I end up putting a tap or two in there somewhere and the charges get a bit heavier.
