Saw gander's post on "Talk About Cheap" and thought, I'm not cheap - I'm anal.

I've gotten to the point where I plan my shooting session ahead of time and prepare my loads and targets in advance. I usually prepare five weighed charges for each load I want to shoot and put them in a baggie with the bullets. I use a different target for each five-shot load and label the targets in advance.

Here's a picture of my set-up for the next range session (anal enough for you?).

I can see where that would greatly reduce the amount of stuff I take to the range. I have the stuff to do what you are doing I just haven't gone that far with it yet. I kind of like the extra time it takes to reload, it gives the gun time to cool a bit more and allows me time to think things over as I go through the motions. I do like the idea though.

I'm right there with you Semisane. I do the same prep work so I can get the most out of my time at the range. It also keeps me thinking about what I need to do at my next session Where do you get your vials for powder? I noticed they have a flat bottom. The ones I use are actually made for research labs and have a tapered end to fit in a centrifuge. I like your set-up more.

Here is a link to the 10ml ones I have. http://www.eandkscientific.com/product.php?productid=16150

I got mine from a forum member that bought 1000 of them and then sold some to several forum members, Thanks Lane! I haven't got around to using them but will sortly when hunting season get close for me.

Those are nice powder tubes.I wouldnt ever use a thousand of them. LOL

This is a link to the ones I use. It's the larger one with a screw top. They fit inside a shotgun shell box.

Are those the 5 or 7 ml?

Thanks

7 ml. They hold about 120 grains. I normally just load 90-100 though.

Hey those look like the tubes I got from Lane Nebraska. They work great. I do the same here. That is, pre-load all of my powder at home. I just makes things easier at the range.
