[QUOTE="Muskrat Outdoors, post: 2301514, member: 119188"] I'm a big fan of Black Powder cartridge rifles. Loading them with black powder, you should use a drop tube at least 24 inches long. Pouring the powder through the tube compacts the powder, and I believe the dust settles more at the bullet end of the case, but that is just a guess. For whatever reason, cartridges loaded with a tube will shoot cleaner and more accurate that those loaded without the tube. They even sound different. More of a crack than a boom. What you are describing here, is very similar. I'm always amazed at the tiny things that can make a big difference with guns and ammo. [/QUOTE]
