I wish I could drop the powder straight into the 17 hornet case but my lee powder measure just isn't up to the job. It's the only caliber I load for so doesn't warrant spending loadsa money on. This thread has given me the idea of a drop tube though, especially when using Trail Boss because the donut shapes bounce a lot no matter how close I hold the pan. I've even seen the buggars bounce out of the pan frpm the trickler. A deeper pan would be very useful.
I only use the TB when searching for a quiet, short range, reloadable round. So far I've got 2.6gr TB behind a 17gr Vmax and it's already quieter than hmr @ 100yds.
Normal powder Is LilGun but I've just got some Lovex D063 (AA1680) which I will switch to.
