Would there be any reason to by a flask if I buy one of those plastic funnel caps that fit the loose powder cans?? I could pour powder straight from the can into a powder measure, right?

I don't use a powder flask. When hunting I pour my loose powder into my brass measure and then fill 4 or 5 speed loaders. At the range it is not a problem for me to use the funnel cap on my T7 jug. I am sure others have a way that's different but hey that's OK. That is why I use this forum so I can see what others do to improve their shooting. I have gotten a lot of good useful informatio from this forum.

yes those plastic caps work just fine. I use them all the time. Then when I hunt, I pour out premeasured loads into film canisters.

I have about 10 of these speed loaders from RMC Sport, but I am going to buy 50, so I can keep about 10 or 15 shots of each load that I have in 4 BP rifles. Chap Gleason Va

I'm with Cayugad. I went to a fast photo place, and they gave me 50 or so of those canisters for free. For my first reload while hunting, though, I have one of those speed loaders by CVA that has the powder measure markings on the powder side and holds a sabot on the other. It also is a T-handle starter and has an indention that holds the ramrod, allowing it to spin around.
Chap Gleason- can you post the link to the websight where you got those powder tubes. i would like to buy some. I looked for RMC sport on line and didn't find them.
Thanks,
David

Click the "Easy Loader and Speed Loaders" site on the LHS. They are thin and light and fit in your pocket nice with a plastic bag.
The film canisters are too big, sure they work, but too big for me. I want to make up 10 for my FL, 10 for my Knight, 10 for my Omega and 10 for my Savage, all with different loads. In addition, the RMC sports easy loaders are bore size, so they drop down in the bore easily and you don't risk spilling the powder on the ground, with the film canisters you risk spilling on the ground.
