Most of my friends and Ive used those plastic cigar tubes for carrying individually loads for our muzzle loaders for DECADES and no one I know has had problems, I think a good deal of the scare tactics , where people talk about static electricity might ignite powder, if you use plastic, were originally just related to increasing sales to a specific vendors products, but eventually got repeated enough over the years so they were taken as fact with zero proof and thought to be related to anything similar. besides I don,t see how anyone can build up much static electricity ,90% of the time were walking in damp ground or grass , and last time I looked I was not shuffling my feet across a nylon carpet in a dry cold area so I could sneak up on a friend and zap him just before I reload my rifle, or wearing much synthetic clothing while hunting with a front loader. Id be more likely to look like this, (my coats made from a couple old olive military blankets and I wear dark green dye levis and leather boots while hunting with a front loader [img] http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-53721454305443_2225_7605318[/img] obviously if the idea keeps you up nights use a brass powder horn, with a built in measure

I don't lose any sleep over it,but heck 6 quick loaders cost less than $10 here.You get a device to carry powder, bullet and primer all in one. Plus piece of mind that one in a thousand chances it might go boom.
Can't understand it as the same guys pay $1 a bullet but want a 25 cent tube to carry powder in.
Perpexling all right.
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

I wouldn't have any problems with a quikloader type device for taking hunting.
the advice I sought was for 25-50 vials to tote to the range for a series of many tests, and if possible something that would handily fit organizable into a convenient cased trayed box.
I have found my answer

Now, if the 1 or 2 of you guys want to turn this into an episode of Myth Busters- have at it

Buy a 5' length of 3/4" pvc plumbing pipe, and as many 3/4" caps X2 as you need. Cheapest solution I have found. I'm new to the Savage MLII too, and I think I'll just take my powder scale to the range from now on.

I'm new to the Savage MLII too, and I think I'll just take my powder scale to the range from now on. I have been taking my scale to range. However, the always seems to be some pizza-zit-faced jagg off with an AR-15 burning through 200 rounds right beside me in the next bay. Slinging his [bleep] steel cased molten hot hulls all over my set up. Plus there always has to be an EMO bff with a trench coat and pistol grip shotgun. Who da hell takes a shotgun with game load to a 100 yard range. lol idjits On the other bay (one long continuous bench) was some guy tryin to teach his milf mother-in-law how to shoot another AR. Again, other times at the range- there have been instances where people brought their [bleep] hyperactive kids who kept jumping up onto the bench like a bunch of [bleep]. I gave up on the scale at the range I like the pvc pipe idea, wish I would've thought of that. I very committed to the sampling vials at the present. thanks

I use, of all things, BH209 tubes for pre-weighed charges of BH209 at the range and in the field. Should work for smokeless too. I also use them to carry a couple of sabotted bullets, padded with a ball of poly fluff, cotton, or patches.
At the loading bench, I put them in a .45/70 loading block. Only snag is finding a funnel that fits.
What fresh Hell is this?

Another vote for Lanes tubes. Less than $13 for 25 tubes. I buy for myself and friends. They come with different colored lids so that I can tell which loads are BH 209 and which are 777.
