Pakistan reloading. Question, what powder requires no metering?

I used to shoot with a older gentleman...long passed that loaded his 45 ACP pretty much like that. Said he would scoop the case and shake out enough to get the bullet in...very interesting to hear him shoot, you could notice the difference in powder weight.

Volumetric powder measuring using the LEE Factory Foot Crimp Machine!:)

not going to lie, I kinda want a foot operated crimp machine! He’s definitely not just removing the bell off that case
 
It looks like Tok ammo (7.62X25). It is indeed volumetric loading. I knew of folks years ago that would load hunting ammo that way. They would fill the chosen bottleneck rifle case all the way up and strike the excess off with a business card and crunch a bullet on top. Kill deer every year with that ammo too.
 
I’d be willing to bet that what ever velocity/pressure that round is designed to operate at it is well within most modern standard cartridges specs for velocity variances, those cases were filled as even as any progressive powder measure is going to throw a charge.
That appeared to be a handguns bottle neck cartridge.
 
Opalene. Breakfast of champions!

They could have sped things up using a vibrator. But their goat would have been upset!

I remember the older Khyber Pass videos with the kids reloading on a rock with a hammer. Wonder what their life expectancy was before a primer was ignited?

I feel bad for those little children. We have it good here in America, remember that every day!
 
Well I load my 22 Hornet ammo that way. A case full of Lil Gun and a 45 grain bullet. Wiked flat shooting as well as accurate. Ends up being around 13 grains in them.
The guy doesnt seem to worry about the primers being in a box like that! Kinda jealous of how many he has there as well.

They are measuring, using the case.

If you were designing or blending a propellant for a cartridge, you'd design it for ~100% case fill (without compression). This is a small step away (compressed, over 100% fill) but easy to achieve.

Good point! a powder blend thats ment to be loaded to full case capacity. Sounds like a simple solution to a problem!!!
