dumping powder down drop tube

[Lumpy Grits]

I don't even use a drop tube anymore but just dump the powder into the case through a normal loading funnel, place the wad on top and use a compression die to establish the desired wad height.
It's almost impossible to trickle the powder through a drop tube and get the same powder height plus it takes forever and eliminating that step speeds up the loading operation.

I like this so I will give it a try, I weigh each charge and drop through a 30 inch drop tube and the powder never stacks to the same height

What ever you do. Do it in the same amount of time, each time.
What happens after you "just" push and seat a card wad down on the powder?
