Listen up boys and girls, I am asked this question often, how do you fit X amount of powder in a certain case, when I can only fit this amount no matter what brand of brass I use, Me personally I have found you can achieve more FPS and tighter groups, buy using more of a slower powder than less of a faster powder, and at the same time showing less signs of pressure, how I achieve this is by placing my reloading tray right beside my bench grinder, when I am pouring the powder into the the cases, the slight vibration that the bench grinder creates really settles the powder in compactly, that and pouring it in slowly and not just dumping it in the funnel, this of coarse really only applies to stick powder, I can usually get an easy 5% more powder and in most cases even more, which is a big factor in achieving the numbers that I do, just thought some folks would like to know, it is also a way around for those who don't like to compress loads, "Hey Frank"
