Capsule machine can't fit enough power in capsule

I purchased a 100 capsule machine size 00 (vegetarian capsules). They say you can fit around 0.5 grams per capsule. I ground the mushrooms very fine in a spice grinder then filled and tamped the capsules several times very firmly to fill as much as I can but can only get around 0.360 g per capsule. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong? Is anyone making 00 capsules with 0.5 g per capsule?
Just to be sure, the weight does not include the capsule itself, correct?

I usually get .33 in them. .4 if itβs really fine powder and I pack both ends of the cap.

I get a solid .4 or better if I load both parts of the capsule with material and tamp well. Do tye bottim plate normal, then just load the covers with the orange plate over the top plate (keeps them from falling out). Then add some material, not so much they won't seal though. I see a variable of.06+/-with these unless I make them by hand,because the slop between plates and tamping with the tamper pulls material some aswell. Cheers edit-what Aka said, I'm slow typing

I think the keys are having super dry finely ground powder and tamping. I used a food processor and got about .5-.6 total weight per 00 cap by hand.
My machine vs hand differences for kratom powder were around .2 lower as well.
I think if you go too crazy with tamping it may make it harder to cap without splitting later. so .2-.3 per cap sounds easier to manage.
