Here is a question for those that carry powder in plastic tubes other than what is sold commercially for that specific purpose.
When Muzzle Loaders started to get popular back in the mid -70's , it was advised not to carry black powder in plastic tubes because static electricity could set it off. I don't know if this would be true with substitutes like Pyrodex or 777, but I suspect it would also apply to those if this is accurate.
What is the general consensus of those that carry powder like this? Is it a worry, wive's tale or?
The vials I've got have zero static electricity issues so no worries. OTOH, my TC clear plastic powder measure gets static cling when you adjust it. I have to keep a fabric softener sheet in my ML possibles tool box to get rid of the static cling with the measure.
They're two different types of plastic.
