loose powder question
 

Was really wanting to switch to loose powder i was wondering what
worked the best for carrying in the field without getting anymoisture
in the powder.I'm the kinda guy that carries 5 shots with me all the time
so what ever you use will it stay good in it say a week or two.

I just use a few of those plastic speed loaders.Never had a problem.

A lot of us use these plastic tubes that Lane sells. They can hold up to 120 grains of loose powder, they have a tight screw on cap and that's what I do. I load five of them and off I go. I don't know his link, sorry. Someone will post it. They work really good. Then you measure out your charge, load the tubes and off you go.

I have used every thing from empty 35 MM film canisters and the tubes like Lane sells to 4 different kinds of speed loaders They all worked I like the straight through speed loaders but that's a personal preference for hunting the ones like lane sells are excellent for target shooting for me since I use a reloading powder measure for every thing except real black powder as I like to shoot a lot.

hunting junkie

I still prefer the TC 4-1 loaders, they are really convienent to use with the powder in one end and the bullet in the other end with a built in short starter...
