I have had good luck with giving the powder measure a healthy slap on the top of the reservoir and a second slap to the side of the reservoir prior to dispensing each load and the drops are consistent enough.
Of course, I load on a single stage press so I normally just skip the powder measure abuse and just throw the charges light and trickle them up to the desired weight.

No amount of technique will fix 800x metering. At best, you might get 2/10 gr accuracy. Which may be enough if not running the top end. I have tried it in 10mm, the darling of those that like to hotrod, I find it very hohum accuracy wise vs others. Certainly not worth the metering issues. JMO.
