Totally ! .. and don't overlook some great new powders that will give you near perfect load densities and similar, or better velocities and great accuracy... Ramshot being one, Alliant another. There are others as well.
Unless you have a particular requirement for shooting compressed powders
the days of the drop tube appear to be pretty much over. Good luck with your loading. Looking good so far.
