Default RE: loose powder help

I personally like the T/C clear view measures with the funnel, but I have some brass ones as well. I like to start a .50 caliber off with 70 grains, but they usually tune in around 90 grains depending on what you're shooting.

Also, never be afraid to ask a question. No matter how "dumb" you might think it is. As my Dad used to say, "No such thing as a dumb question if you don't know the answer." We'd rather have you ask and get the right information then not, and do something harmful. Like the other reason to use the powder measure is, you never load from your flask into a rifle. One spark and it will be all over with when flask loading.

Also when you pour into your measure, you can be a tapper or no. If you tap to level your charge in the measure, do the same every time. If you don't tap, do the same every time... good luck with your rifle.
