Same here, when using stick powder, you usually have to weigh it light and trickle it till it is the correct amount, pain in the but! Ball powders are nice for that reason, that is why I use w296 in my 44 mags and w760 in my 30-06s, both throw out of the hooper very consistent. I recenly bought a automatic powder hopper from RCBS, I got the Chargemaster combo, what a great unit, ends all that time consuming powder trickleing, associated with stick powders such as IMR4350.
