Default glitter in my powder

I think on my second post I asked about shot tubes. I said I was going to try glitter tubes from walmart. While getting stuff ready to goto the range tomarrow. (100 yrd work with the ml and sighting my sks). I found 2 tubes left that I did not use the last time I went. they had glitter in the tube. lol

I don't know if you can see it in this pic.






when I bought my scope I got a 24 pk of 50/50 pellets and use the tubes from them, both work well for me.

I think you'll find that glitter hard to ignite, even with 209's.

You know I think he is just using this as an excuse to use glitter because it is his life long dream. LOL! Just joking, just couldn't resist.

I use these from RMCSports.com $5 for 5 tubes. I like these for loose powder because they won't break, they are flexable and they carry quietly. The see thru plastic can break or crack. I don't like putting loose powder with a sabot and a bullet because the powder gets between the sabot and bullet and is difficult to completely get out. Chap Gleason
