You might try a lube cookie. You can easily make some of Your own by melting some lube and pouring a thin (1/8") layer into a small container. Dump your powder and use another case to cut out some cookies and place them on top of the settled powder charge. If you are shooting in hotter weather or going to store them awhile, you may want to put a disc of waxed paper under the lube so it doesn't migrate into the powder charge. I haven't done this with jacketed bullets but have with paper patched in the old 11mm Mauser I used to have.
