Are the Lane tubes static free? I just put some loose BH209 in some T/C Speedshots and it is sticking to the tubes, presumably from static electricity, like crazy. I know they are designed for pellets, but, regardless, I didn't think they would pick up static electricity like that. Not the best feeling when dealing with an explosive. I dumped the powder into a glass bowl to neutralize the charge.

Not a problem NATO. Just use a dryer fabric softner sheet wrapped around a pencil to wipe out the interior of the tubes/chargers and eliminate static cling. Used ones work fine.
You really don't have to worry about a static charge igniting any powder you use in a muzzleloader anyway.
