Burt, a drop tube does drop denser charges. For whatever reason, when the kernels fall down the tube, they land and stack more compactly. I have a 5" tube I paid under 10 bucks for. I just taped it to a universal funnel and then it has a universal end to meet the case mouth. I'd take a picture, but I don't currently have access to it. I'll dare say that using it also gave me a slight velocity increase and slightly better sd's (Shooters World Precision in 6.5 G with 123s and Varget in ARC). Not nearly large enough of a statistical sample to say its true, but it makes sense with a more consistent packing and hence burning of powder through the case.
Someone does sell a funnel / tube combo with this use in mind. I think its Frankford, but my Google Fu is weak tonight.
