if you don't intend to get into barrel swapping & multiple calibers, don't get the encore. it'll just make you want more.

actually, i use my cap to transition powder from it to the funnel, the nice soft rubber means i don't get stray grains bouncing everywhere.

that's the same process i've been using, makes modifying .223 brass for 7tcu and .221 fireball reloading a breeze.
