My buddies sponge off me all the time...They bring me their guns to sight in and don't bring bullets, sabots, powder etc...They know I love to shoot so I sight them in and give them a supply of sabots and bullets...I have had some bring me their left over box of pellets from the previous year...I prefer powder so that's what I used...I then verify with pellets, it's always been real close...
I don't shake that bad normally, but I've reloaded a couple of times when I'm walking out to see if the deer is laying there, or when walking to the stand. I'm afraid that in a situation like that, I'd be a lot more prone to spill loose powder. Maybe it's a non issue, I'm not really sure though. I've not used loose powder in the field, but I've got several friends that have, and all of them have switched to the pellets and say they are worth the price for the convenience which is what made me never have the desire to use loose powder when hunting.
