    Use a drop tube (trickle the powder into the case down a bit of tube or a long neck funnel). It will settle into the case better.
    A bit of crunch and compression when you seat the projectile doesn't matter. ADI 2206 and 2208 powders compress down quite well.

    use a funnel to pour with, and a gentle tap on the table settles it pretty well. got a powder trickler lined up as sick of using the yellow lee scoop things
