    Lol.
    If you want ultimate consistency then you want to minimize variables, and powder being able to slosh around in the case is just another variable. Im not talking about the powder failing to ignite, im talking about ensuring the powder column within the case is relatively consistent for maximum consistency. Its generally accepted that loads where the case is almost full with powder often perform better than those with more free space.
    Is it due to the consistency of ignition and the way the powder burns? Is there the potential for powder sprinkled along the bottom of the case, or all packed up the front, only half filling it up to burn with less consistency than a case that is packed full?
