Fixed-charge powder measures.

[Joe Boleo]

I use an adjustable powder measure to put certain charges in plastic vacutainer tubes (looks like a test tube) with a rubber stopper. There are different colored stoppers and they mean different things. A tube with a blue stopper is FFFFG priming powder, a brown stopper is 90 grs. of FFG, red is 70 grs. of FFFG. You get the idea. These are cheap and effective and I have been using them for years.

Empty brass cases work fine and so does the adjustable powder measure. I have read where the old longhunters would place a ball in the palm of their hand and cover it with powder to determine the right load. Take care...
