I use the clear coin tubes with the screw on capsmade for dimes, will hold 150 gr +by volume and are water proof at a cost of 13 cents each, work very well.

For hunting I still use the TC 4 in 1 - for range work the tubes are great....
If you were to use the TC 4 in 1 loader the bullets and powder are stored in the same container but in separate compartments + you would even have a bit of a short starter built in.... the powder never touches the bullet or sabot.

Sabotloader,
Do you have any problems with the lids of those speedloaders coming loose and spilling the contents? I have had this problem with the TC speedloaders I use and I keep them in a possibles bag. Any hints to prevent this from happening?

I don't know how big these tubes are, but I ordered 100 vials similar to these from Randy Wakeman a few years ago along with some of his higher-grade vent liners. They have white caps, and hold 45 grains of AA-5744 with room to spare, and they'll each hold 2 250gr bullets with sabots, or one 300gr bullet with sabot for sure (depending on the bullet, sometimes two). I don't remember how much they cost, but they were cheap, they are totally air and water tight, and they'll last forever if you keep track of them. They are great for both hunting and going to the range. I weigh my powder charges at home with my RCBS scale, dump them into the vials and go to the range. When I hunt I have at least three in my pocket for reloads. They are great for load workups too, since the Lee dippers don't offer enough precision to do a proper workup. I can weigh the charges and write the weights on the vial with a fine magic marker or label maker. They are also the perfect size for dumping the powder into the muzzle without a funnel.
These larger ones should work great for the bulkier powders.

You know I have really not.. they snap down really snug all the way around... infact they are a little tough to pop open. I just throw then in my side pack also....
Check one of yours and see if when you push it closed that it snaps all the way around the top not just where pushed it closed.

I have had that problem to, what I do now is to wrap a small rubber band around the portion that stores the cap and the lid there so that I can quickly roll it off with my thumb if need be. I also keep one with out a rubber band in my shirt or vest pocket in case I want to reload quickly. Lee

Mine are different than these then. Mine are twist-top caps.
I've also had the flip-top caps come open in the field. Hard to load a rifle with powder that's loose in your pocket. [:@]
