So:

Take a bullet, measure it, measure the case, seat the bullet and calculate the free space.

Pull the bullet. Drop some epoxy in the flash hole. Trim the case to maybe a few thousands over your measurement. Solder a handle to the case.

Scoop up Black powder with your new scoop, charge a new case, then seat bullet charge a new case. You should feel it compress the powder.

Then shoot. Clean with water and ballistol
