Powder charge measuring tube

[Grenadier1758]

I believe weight and volume will always be different

For use of substitute powders, yes. Weight and volume will be close with real black powder. GOEX or Scheutzen.

Lee dippers will get you as close as you need to be.

I'll check 'em out thanks

Plastic test tubes and centrifuge tubes make great pre measure holders for heading to the range.

Thanks. I was thinking about using my measure to fill them so I won't need the lines on the tube. Just wondering if static would be a problem.

Not sure what the fuss is about. Measuring devices of all types are produced all over the world and may or may not be as accurate as one requires. Look at powder measures a different way. Let's say that instead of grains they were simply marked "A,B,C ..... "and so on. You find that the best load for your GPR is with "F" amount of powder. Maybe your T/C Hawken works best with "D" amount of powder. So whether it's 70,80, or 90 gr or "D,E or F" the actual powder charge needed is determined by shooting and adjusting. If you had more than one powder measure you might have to calibrate them to one another but i'm betting the difference would be insignificant in most cases.

Weight or volume what does it matter? I have a graduated scale measurer and it works fine . I don't care what the charge weighs. On second thought I am going to weigh my favorire charge to day. LOL!
