The plunger pulls out of the tube, then dump the powder that is in the tube into the chamber. It may not be clear from the photos but the plunger slides in and out like a trombone slide. It stays in place because the felt diaphram is little oversized making the fit just a little tight. If I just hold the flask upside down, the plunder does not fall out, but it is easy to pull out with just a little force.

In this way, I am resetting the charge with every chamber I load.

I never tried this device with 2F but it works with pistol grind powder.
