So if I were to use loose powder in lieu of pellets, where do I find a measure?

Im sorry i'm an idiot when it comes to inlines. I'm used to just cutting off the end of my brass tip and dumping it down the barrel.

UC recommended the TC U-view for me, I picked it up at Wally World for I think $13.

Not to hyjack but what are the speed loaders everyone talks about?
And how do they operate?

Thanks Yankee

With all the talk around here I'm gonna do some testing in the off season with loose powders. I have used nothing but pellets in the past.Thanks for the info.

 

[yankee]

no trouble, my possibles bag post shows the top of said speedloads in the cabelas link

I use the T/C U-View and have a antique brass one that I got from Ourway7 when I bought my MK-85 Knight from him. Here is a picture of the two.

And the second photo is of a speed loader. Bullet/Sabot go in one end first and then pour in powder in the tube and close lid. 209 primer is in a slot on the top of the cap.

When buying a speed laoder bear in mind some are made for pistol shoters and dont go hier then 60 by volume. The rifle ones should go beyond 100 grain by volume. The newer made ones should go well beyond 150 grains by volume.
