Calvin,

Forrest is spot on. Do not try to weigh black powder. I have a scoop that I use to scoop up the powder. I use the same scoop for the shot as well. I do use an over powder card in addition to the cushion wads and a 10 gauge over shot card. I like a hot glue gun to seal the over shot card because it is quick, clean and dry's instantly. I seat the wads over the powder with a dowel and use a little body weight to push down. To seat primers I have a smooth surfaced vise. Just insert the primer and gently close the vise to seat the primer. This is real quick, but again have the bench clear of powder just in case.

Harry
