One reason i bought the tubes.Sure there are alot of things you could use. But if you load from a flask into a measure thenin the gun that much more time rain or snow could get in. I can see it now go to shoot that 12 point and nothing happens all bacause i would not spend 40 cents a tube.

got no swampbuggy or atv. In Muzzleloader season its usually ankle to knee deep average 95 degrees and humid (rain) most days. I have had no problem with moisture.
