Default Talk about cheap..

As im typing this, Im readying my stuff for muzzleloading season and filling up my 3 speed loaders. Powder has gotten to the point, where i am now holding a cup under my powder measure when i cut it and then putting whatever is in the cup, back into my flask so i dont waste it Thats pretty sad. Now off to ebay to buy some powerbelts

FG

Now that is a good thought... I always look at that unused powder on the ground from cutting the load wish I could - now I can, another thing I'll pack into my equipment for the shooting range...

I guess I'm always that cheap but I do it primarily to maximize my range time. Rather than spend time at the range measuring powder I premeasure 90 and 100gr of triple7 into screw top plastic vials. I do this over a big bowl and funnel the dregs back into the jug. You'd be amazed how much you waste when you load 30 charges. I'd guess 5-10%. Tom
