Default DIY measured powder charge holder

While at the local Bass Pro Shop to pick up some new sabots and powder, got to looking at the selection of speed loaders available. Came to the conclusion that most of these things on the market are grossly overpriced. When I got back home, I started rummaging through some stuff and came up with this. Besides being easy to make, it's practically free! All you need is a 3cc syringe container with the end cap (available from your doctor or a local vet) and one of those compressable ear plugs. Works perfect for 100gr of Pyrodex RS - could possibly hold 120gr.

All you need to do is put the ear plug in thenarrow end, pull the end cap off and pour in your powder. To load your rifle, just remove the ear plug and pour the powder into barrel.
