I’ve done the vibrator tumbler trick one case at a time and it worked pretty well.

Using an ultra sonic tooth brush against the case works well too, settles out nicely.

I have heard of this tip before Rick. it sounds like a good one. With my luck though I would drop it and spill it all. lol

Have you ever tried a vibrator enhanced loading block sandwich? Put a second loading block inverted on top of your loaded cases already in your 1st loading block. Then touch them on the side of your vibratory tumbler for a few seconds. Repacks nicely. No compression. Just well packed.

i think that there can only be (if any) any difference when avoiding hard compression and you want to have only light compression.

for any other filling level of the case this methos is useless, imho.

If tapping the case has only marginal effect on the displacement of powder, one could infer that agitation from transport would similarly only have marginal effect.

Next thought: Can a compressed charge shift or settle significantly once the bullet is seated?
