Only really helpful when you're running charges that fill the case and you still need a little more room to seat the bullet to the desired depth. It really integrates the granules with a minimum amount of trapped air. A lot faster than a drop tube and definitely most effective with extruded powders. Not so much with ball powders for obvious reasons. If you don't have access to a shake table, you can make one easily from an affordable, adjustable electro-pencil and an eraser.
I have a link to a thread I made on another forum, if anyone's interested.

Yep! Please. Believe it or not, I have another shaker just like this one. Settling powder would be an excellent use for it.
