I have seen small powder chargers to put powder in the pan, but how much does it take?
I have read articles about having the powder below the flashhole, but should the pan be full up to the hole?
I also read somewhere about tapping the powder away from the flashhole. Is that right? Does it just take a flick of the wrist to move the powder away?
I understand the caution against causing the powder to burn like a fuse into the flashhole and I think that I understand how, but it's hard to picture without my rifle being here with me.
