Kind of expensive.... :shocked2:
Those are twice the rate of what they cost from a laboratory supply company.....They're just 50ml pp centrifuge tubes......

Try your local veterinary office.... :grin:

I made a uneek one but don't have a pic. And, don't have anymore, donated for a fund raiser. Enneyhow, it was from a hunk of the palm from a deer antler. Try to visualize. I has a hickory rod for a short starter, a patched ball as on a ball block and a drilled hole for powder plugged with a thong tethered cork. Whole thing cost me about nothing and took minutes to make.

Not PC or HC, but they work just fine. I got three plastic test tubes, with rubber stoppers, from a veterinarian. The vets use them to send in blood samples for brucellosis test. I pre measure my powder charge and tightly seal the stoppers, and carry them in my shirt pocket. For my rifles, I reload from a block holding three PRB's. For my SBS shotgun I pre measure the shot charge and keep them in 35mm film tubes. Keep yer powder dry.....robin :wink:

30-06 case holds 70 gr. capped with cut down 5.56 case, which i belled out using a pin punch. i`ve measured several cases in the .30 cal range for volume, and most will cap with a 9mm case, or the cut down 5.56. i carry the various cases when hunting and using a particular load and calibre. with wax they are water proof. i have a list if anyone interested, but by no means is it complete or exhaustive.

For next to nothing, I made two of these each for both my .36 & .45 caliber rifles - one to hold PRB's, the other for Maxi-Hunter conicals.

I made mine plain, but have seen the principle applied to (maple) leaf & clover leaf shaped boards, etc (IOW, a custom design)

The prepared powder charges are kept in plastic vials, to which I applied an anti-static coating, inside & out (dishwashing soap, applied wet & air dried).

Thet's the idea. In this game being resourceful is the norm. And, I believe it is wat kept folks alive back in the day.
