From a competitive stand point that could easily be applied to a hunting scenario granted perhaps not in a strictly "traditional" sense - I have a fixture I bought at a shoot where it holds a powder can upside down. This fixture mounts to my shooting box. There's a spring loaded gate or stopper that just slides in a grove. The edge of it is beveled to accept a powder measure by volume. I push the measure in causing the gate to open and the powder pours out filling the measure flush. Removing the measure lets the gate close off the flow of powder. With the measure full no powder can go anywhere either. It waists the least amount of powder, no spillage, and is the most consistent way that I have found so far for filling a powder measure.

I tried for some time weighing charges with a reloading powder drop/measure. It's not as consistent. Using my current system you can fill plastic tubes or vials with pre measured charges and carry them for hunting.
