I then take a piece of brass of whatever caliber I was working with that still has a spent primer in place. I position it in the stage 2 position and cycle the handle checking for residual powder. Every time I cycle the powder measure, I gently tap the hopper. Usually after 6 to 8 repetitions the hopper is totally empty.
