Do You mind revealing what Your load is that requires a drop tube ?

Hi the 34 grains of H4350 in lapua brass is fine but when I use norma 6 mm br brass I know it holds less but it’s a sweet load so I need the drop tube not to have to much of a compressed load

(Forster funnel) This has worked well for me too for many, many years. (Note, the outlet end of the tube is a multi-calibre bell and does .22 upwards, so doesn't slot over the case-neck. Simply holding the bell on top of the case with light pressure sees it work fine without leakage, but not everybody likes this and you may prefer something with a more positive fit.)
Thanks Willie, but I shoot 103/105 grain bullets at 600&1,000yds, and H4350 is the wrong powder for that application. Just trying to learn something, so thanks for Your input
I shot a 6 br for quite awhile. Used everything from 105 hybrids to 110 smk using h4350. Did perfectly fine out to the 1225 yards on my range.Thanks Willie, but I shoot 103/105 grain bullets at 600&1,000yds, and H4350 is the wrong powder for that application.

Thanks Lance, I’ll load up a few to try
It's not the fastest of rounds but it'll be very consistent, that's what I liked about h4350. That being said, I'm gonna try some n140 in our 6 bra/107s. $270 /8 lb keg vs $380 now for h4350.Thanks Lance, I’ll load up a few to try

I have found that the ID of the drop tube is just as important as he length.
I have a 10 inch drop tube with a .150 hole, it allows me to get the 30.5+ grns of 133 in my 6PPC cases and have plenty of room for the bullet.

Willie, in reference to your post about the norma brass holding less than the lapua brass, I would be a little carefull with just packing the same load into the norma brass, usually a case with smaller capacity will develope a little more pressure thereby changing the way that load shoots, also, do not want to get into high pressure issues either, might want to start a little lower charge & work up accordingly, Just MY thoughts, which if added to $1.50, might just buy a cup of coffee, just be carefull

Hi yes you are correct I adjusted the load in norma brass to match the speeds in the lapua brass just over half a grain in the difference
