i made the move from pellets to powder last year, its super easy. I bought one of the small flasks that have a spring loaded top. It will hold probably 2 cups of loose powder. Then buy the small measuring flask (cant remember the proper name), its the small see thru cylinder with the measuring marks on the side and youre basically good to go. Once you find the load your gun likes best, buy a few of those small self contained powder holders (holds the powder for one shot, your nipple and your bullet) and youre ready to do some hunting.
