Dumping it out will not get all the powder out. You'll have a charge or two "somewhere else" after you dump out what you can see in the hopper - and to get it all out simply hold the powder hopper up (like it sits on the machine) and cycle the powder bar a few times. That will get all the powder out. I'm assuming you have the powder hopper off the machine (for dumping it out) - be careful when cycling the bar that white plastic collar sleeve that is up inside the hopper doesn't fall out and into your powder can. It's not a problem if it falls out, it just slides back in - but it can be tricky to get it out of a powder can.
