It's important to use the same method everytime. I always over fill the measure, and then tap it with my finger to get it to settle in the measure. Then slice it off even at the top. I then either pour it in tubes for the range, or speedloaders for hunting. It's not a true smokeless powder that needs to be perfect in weighing it. You'll never see a couple of grains either way on the target.
Same way here. I use disgarded pellet tubes as my speed loaders from the range. So far to date, the deer have never found there to be any difference in my just pour/volume, tap charges!!! I carry 3 tubes of powder, 1 with projectiles and 1 with 209's and starter in my jacket pocket. All but the starter are in a zip lok bag.
