And the old method of holding a ball in the palm of your had and then pouring powder to surround the ball, again.. not recommended.
Once upon a time that is how it was done to get about the right amount of powder for the size of load you were shooting... Once upon a time they really never even measured - the learned how long to pour from their powder horn to get the charge they needed - the gun could only burn so much powder per weight of the ball. Things have changed....
