Capsules for Blackpowder Loads

[Frank in Fairfield]

Have you guys ever used these?
I guess for making quick loads at home for the range or in the field.
I have had them for a while but have never used them.
How do you like them..

I have a few hundred of them and they work well for my BH209, T7 and smokeless charges. These are the only charge tubes I use.

I use them at the range but I prefer an actual speedloader for hunting. One that contains the charge, projectile and primer.

I think these are for revolvers so would not hold anything but powder.
Thanks

My mistake. I didn’t realize this was in the handgun forum.

Mine are 5ml and have a flip-top lid with a tab for easy one hand operation. Put 30gr of 3f in 'em and use for both rifle (two or three down the tube) or pistol (one per cylinder hole)

I use them at range. Very handy.

Where can I find these? What would I type in to search for them?

 

[MrTom]

On the upper right hand corner of each page is a search function. Click on it and type in lanes tubes.

I use them. I have a couple loads of 84 gr weight BH209 and then I use a couple empty tubes to store a bullet and a 209 primer each. I just shot a nice little buck yesterday on the opening day of muzzle loader season here. It was 45 or 50 yards through a crack between trees. He went down hard and stayed there.

How much powder can you fit in these?

How much powder can you fit in these?

These “5ml” tubes are just a hair over 7 ml in capacity. So right to the brim you can get 110 grV in them. (I mostly use them for smokeless though and get the bigger “10 ml” tubes for bp subs.)

The green ones I have…maybe 40 grains (volume) of Pyrodex P.
They are exactly the same length as the chambers in my ROA cylinder.

I use these zipfiz containers, put a cleaning patch between powder and bullet. A .50 cal sabot on a patch keeps the powder and bullet separated nicely.
