angel i would only pour a small amount of powder to load only a few shells to make sure its dropping the rite amount of powder..i would weigh the powder for each shell that loader drops into a hull a few times to make sure its being consistant.. after that you can pour all you want to in it...the weather will not effect the powder in the loader as long as the room temperature stays fairly normal.. it aint gonna take you long to get the hang of this reloading... let us know how you come out... charlie

The least amount of powder theoretically that needs to be poured into the powder tube is just enough to fill the powder bushing, but why would you want to do that? I would recommend you put in at least enough powder to be visible in the tube. You'll find the P-W tubes are easy to drain and bushings can be changed with the tubes filled with powder and shot.

It's good practice to weigh out your powder charges with each lot of powder, you will find that they will vary a little. I have found that my P-W powder bushings in general, drop a couple of tenths less than the chart says they'll drop. I wouldn't be overly concerned with how long the powder sits in the tube--unless you're talking months or even years.
