Exactly Old Jim, if it works, it works. Don't change a thing. It is the consistency that makes the difference.

When the target speaks, listen.

zack,
what do you use to trickle mechanically.
this sounds to be good for consistency of powder pack.
keep safe,
bruce.

guys, i already have a trickler lit gary's for topping up thrown charges on a scale.
that weighed charge would be good to mechanically trickle the whole lot in as even a manner as possible.
keep safe,
bruce.
