BP is very addicting. Lyman has a powder flask with a drop tube, or you can make one... really helps in uniform charges. From friends who do the 1000M BP cartridge shoot, elephant is the best powder. I haven't done BP long range in about 8 years.
Casting your own bullets help. I should give you the Email of a friend, who is really up on this topic and still competes. He just had by-pass surgery so now maybe is not be in the best of times. I have another friend, who use to write on such things, but his music has pushed long range BP aside. If you have problems finding people with direct knowledge, let me know in PM, I will give you those two people emails.
Why do you use corn meal? The advantage of a longer case is more powder. Cornmeal is for reduce loads for shorter ranges. Like using a Walker pistol for SASS.
There are some old tricks, you want all the powder to be burnt by the time it leaves the barrel.
Some of the tricks now is not resizing cast bullets. Also no reason to resize your cases, if you use only one rifle and then maybe.
I hope this helps, I am a little rusty.
Best of shooting
