hope you did not think i was getting smart, only was COMPLEMENTING YOU,is all.after i read ,why would you do it,youre right. some like to load their powder in film canisters and take to range to shoot so they dont have to measure it there.some only shoot say, 20 shots and use film canisters at home.i only brought this up because a few said YOU CANT WEIGHT POWDER CHARGES FOR BLACKPOWDER. i say, you can and was surprised, is all.
No I didn't think that...I was just clarifying further bacause I wanted to be sure you didn't take my post as being "critical" of you.
Yes,I've premeasuredpowder charges into 35mm film canisters for 15 years...I don't weigh them, I just fill the powder measure then pour into a canister, fill 50 canisters per charge...have a large ziploc bag filled with with each different charge...40/50/60/70/80/90/100grns Goex...then all stored in a large heavy duty plastic sealable tub...then no matter what caliber I'm shooting that day, I have a bag of charges ready...in the July & August heat & humidity here, I don't waste a minutemore atthe range than I have to...I leave home in the dark, start shooting at first light, get back home inside the garage by 10:00am before the H&H gets too high.
