So, after hitting the range today with the new Optima, I realized that the little percussion cap carrier I used to use with my Knight won't work for carrying the 209 primers.
Anyone have any recommendations for something to carry them in besides the box they come in?

look at the end of your recoil pad, see those screw holes? They are handy at carrying 2 primers.

They have cappers for the 209 primers. I just use the package they come in at the range. For hunting I just put a few in my pocket the morning of the hunt. They're big enough to work fine in a pocket.

exactly what i use fish head. I keep my bullets and primers in the longer 10ml tube. Drop a primer in, drop a bullet, repeat 2 more times.

My pocket has extras in case I drop one in the mud.

if you need something to get you by for now. use a 1/8" thick piece of cardboard, 2 layers of duct tape and then punch some X holes. I used one of those for a couple years because i wasnt paying $8 for a plastic deal that held 6 primers LOL.

Even with an inline, I still carry a possibles bag. The small inner pocket holds the 209s, however I like the idea of dropping one into the tube with the bullet.

I use one of the holders/cappers that takes 10 primers . Since I ride a mule, when I move locations, I take off the primer and chuck it instead of trying to put it back in the capper, so I might use 3-4 a day.
I also carry the Quick Loads that has a slot on top for a 209.
Instead of a Possibles Bag,I wear military camo pants with cargo pockets and keep what I need readily in them. The other stuff goes in my day pack

you guys should look into leather belt bags, they are really handy. I had a custom one made thats really small, maybe 5"x4" and it closes snug over my powder tubes. I never have to carry any tools to take my inline apart and its super nice having that on your hip and so low profile. ![[Linked Image]](http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm53/thepowerbeltforum/Powder%20Tubes/Lane-45-small.jpg)

Checkout wedding bubble tubes. They are like $20/100 at craft shops. You just need to rinse them out and remove the bubble hoop. ![[Linked Image]](https://img1.etsystatic.com/048/0/10110538/il_570xN.681410439_rkxj.jpg)

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?

Hard to say, but BP does come in plastic bottles now.

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.

I'm using BH209, and yes it sticks in my TC clear plastic powder measure from static cling as well as most any plastic. The first thing I do is take laundry fabric soften sheets and rub the inside and cap down with it. Nothing sticks after a treatment with that. It lasts for quite a long while, dependent of course on usage.

Just to be clear I have not had to wipe the vials with a fabric softener sheet. I carry my speedloaders in my front pants pocket and they don't build up any static.
