So when you say settling taps you mean tap on the hopper to get the powder down through the baffle?



No. You don't have to tap the hopper, except to initially get powder below the baffle. What I do is, give 2 or 3 light taps with the charge handle when filling the cylinder, and 2 taps at the top when dumping it to make sure every flake/kernel falls into the case/scale pan. You will notice more consistant throws when you have consistant settling......

Thank you, learned something new. I will try and implement that to my loading practice.
