1. A method of making an explosive charge liner having an improved density along the sides of the liner for use in an explosive charge, the method comprising: introducing powdered material into a basin defined by a die block, where a punch is shaped to interact with the basin, and wherein the powdered material comprises material denser than 10 grams per cubic centimeter;excluding the powdered material from a central portion of the basin;pressing the punch into the powdered material in the basin to form the explosive charge liner, wherein the explosive charge liner comprises an aperture in an apex area of the explosive charge liner corresponding to the central portion, and wherein the explosive charge liner achieves a design density along a length of the explosive charge liner based on the pressing, andfitting a plug into the aperture after the explosive charge liner is formed, wherein the combination of the plug fitted into the aperture and the explosive charge liner defines a shape, and wherein the plug contributes less than 10% of the length of an edge of the shape. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the die block comprises a pin that excludes the powdered material from the central portion of the basin. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the punch comprises a pin that extends through a hole in the die block and excludes the powdered material from the central portion of the basin. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising rotating the die block, and wherein the powdered material is introduced into the basin before starting to rotate the die block or after starting to rotate the die block. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising stopping rotating the die block after pressing the punch into the powdered material in the die block begins. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the rotating the die block distributes the powdered material inside the basin as the punch is pressed into the powdered material. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein pressing the punch into the powdered material continues until at least a 40,000 pounds per square inch (PSI) of force is applied to the powdered material. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising rotating the punch. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the rotating the punch distributes the powdered material inside the basin as the punch is pressed into the powdered material. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the powdered material comprises one or more of copper, tungsten, tantalum, lead, gold, and depleted uranium. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the explosive charge liner defines a straight-sided funnel shape disposed substantially symmetrically around an explosive focus of the liner, and wherein the powdered material comprises powdered metal. 12. A method of making an explosive charge having a liner having an improved density along the sides of the liner, the method comprising: introducing powdered material into a basin defined by a die block, wherein the powdered material comprises material denser than 10 grams per cubic centimeter;excluding the powdered material from a central portion of the basin; andpressing a punch into the powdered material in the basin to form an explosive charge liner, wherein the punch is shaped to interact with the basin, wherein the explosive charge liner comprises an aperture in an apex area of the explosive charge liner, and wherein the explosive charge liner achieves a design density along a length of the explosive charge liner based on the pressing;inserting a plug into the aperture at the apex area of the explosive charge liner, wherein the combination of the plug inserted into the aperture and the explosive charge liner defines a shape, and wherein the plug contributes less than 10% of the length of an edge of the shape; andforming an explosive charge comprising the explosive charge liner, wherein the explosive charge comprises a casing, the explosive charge liner, and an explosive disposed between the casing and the explosive charge liner. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the die block comprises an axially located pin to exclude powdered material from the center of the basin. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the punch comprises a pin that extends through an axially located aperture defined by the die block to exclude powdered material from the center of the basin. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the die block defines a flattened lip proximate to a narrow end of the basin and concentric with a center axis of the basin. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein the combination of the plug inserted into the aperture and the explosive charge liner defines a conical shape. 17. The method of claim 12, further comprising rotating the punch.
