Default Speed loaders for loose powder

I need some real basic help here.

Which retail storehas tubes with end caps that are separated into 2 compartments:1 for the powder, 1 for the bullet? I dont care about a 209 primer holder.

I am switching from pellets and powerbelts to loose powder and sabots and am having trouble finding a basic decent speed loader.

Went to cabelas and bought some black TC speedloaders that came in a 3 pack for 11 bucksbut for some reason there was no cap where the bullet is placed and in fact according to the picture on the back of the package the bullets are placed into the speed loaders backwards. If you don't put them in backwards the bullet falls out of the sabot and the powder is bound to end up all over your pocket.

Sportsman's Warehouse has the ones your looking for. They are made / sold under the Traditions label.

This is the one that I use....

http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_19946____SearchResults

The bullet goes in the sabot then you install the sabot/bullet combination up in the tube - nose of the bullet first. The speed loader then can be used as a short starter...

Here is a picture of what I am trying to say... I have not pushed the sabot/bullet all the way up into the holder - left it hanging out a bit so you could see it better... These are for 50 cal sabots... They use to make them for 54's also...

These red speed loaders are only good for about 110 grains of powder the black ones will hold 150...

I use the same ones for the 54 cal. they hold just over 110 gr.of T7 and are a lite blue in color.
the cva ones are OK but I like the T/C ones best.

The best oneis made by Butler Creek. It has compartments for powder and the bullet.i divide the cheap ones into compartments by shoving three or four over powder wads down the tube.

Thanks for the info. I found the 4 in 1 speed loaders locally and will give them a shot.
