Best Powder Measure and Flask?

[bowler1]

Hi,
I am moving from using M777 pellets to Buckhorn powder and will be using it in a T/C Encore. I have read many good things about the Buckhorn and my local Cableas only had it in powder form. I don't know if it comes in pellets and I have read some things online about powder being providing superior performance to pellets in many instances.

Can anyone recommend to me what powder measure / flask I should get? I know there are a ton of options but most seem to be cheaply made. Can anyone recommend something of good quality or higher accuracy? Not sure if there is much difference, but I like to buy the right thing the first time.

thanks
Matt

Blackhorn 209. Nope, no pellet option just loose.

I’ve used a brass powder measure like this one for 35 years. I’m sure it will last another 35. Some guys like a see through measurer.



As for a flask. I have never used one. I keep the powder in its bottle, pour with a funnel top and keep extra loads in speed loaders while hunting.

So perhaps all are essentially the same and there is not a "better" or more precise option that is better than another. Maybe I am over thinking it.

No on the flask, use plastic vials with tight fitting tops, inexpensive and practical, can also store spare bullets and primers in them too. Leave the powders in their original packaging always for your safety..IMO…
