The method and container (201, 301) allows for adjusting the volume of the container (201, 301)so as to obtain a billet of the desired shape based on selected powder charge for the container (201, 301). In addition, the corner of the container (201, 301) can be adjusted to allow for elimination of edge effects and further shape control in the resulting billet.
