Then again, having no clue as to "where you're going," that may or may not be the answer. Kinda like trying to load a .300 Weatherby Mag down to 30-30 velocities -- you may have your hands full.
Jus' sayin'

I shoot mainly at night with a moderator and a Starlight Archer tubed night vision add on and I shoot rabbits. I don't have a problem getting within around 120yds. Not interested in blowing animals up at 300yds. I only head shoot to preserve the meat (I have five dogs) A full 17 hornet load is utterly devastating, I will always remember one rabbit with no head at all, just one ear and two stringy bits with eyeballs on the ends. So I'd like to get to a quiet , accurate load out to maybe 120yds and I don't want an HMR and I do carry full loads because the farmer wants me to shoot the foxes.
Darryl:
I suspect you use a funnel that sits outside the case neck. Mine goes inside the neck so a smaller diameter. I don't have trouble getting it in but I weigh every load and have to go slower than i would for other powders. This funnel is metal and works flawlessly for £1.99 on Ebay.co.uk with no powder ever sticking to the inside of the neck.
