Default plastic reloading tubes for muzzleloaders

Does anyone know of a gentleman out there who sells these handy reloading tubes made from plastic with diff. color caps? He sells them very cheap, and they work great for quick loading.
Thanks, Jim

Years ago I went by a photomat and got (for free) lots of those 35mm film canisters. Those things make perfect premeasured powder containers because you can bend them as you reload, sort of making a funnel out of them. Not sure how available they are now with everything going digital.

Some hotels and motels have shampoo in little clear plastic bottles with plastic screw on caps. Once cleaned out they work great for a load of loose powder and can be used over and over.

i bought the thompson center quick reload tubes last season and would buy them again in a second. they are the perfect diameter to place my powerbelt down then followed by 100 grains of bh 209. its just a matter of pulling the rubber cap and dumping it all down.

I have some lanes tubes loaded up with Barnes T-EZ 290 gr with supplied sabot and 110 gr of BH 209 and some Hornady SST's 300 with 110 gr of BH 209 also. They work great as speed loaders. At $35.00 for 100 of them, they work great.

Thanks for the tip! My camera store gave me a whole bag of those cans and they surely come in handy for loose shot.

Beau, my pleasure. By loose shot, do you mean shotgun? I also use them for shot when turkey or quail hunting with black powder.
