Extra protection for your powder.

[Grouse]

Alot of people are keeping there pre-measured powder in vials. Thanks to a great idea buy Big6x6. I am putting the small vial into a pill bottle for extra protection. The pill bottle is air and water tight. You only need three or four for hunting.

Ifound a vial from pilotvials.com that you can use by themselves. They are glass with a black screw on poly seal cap. They will actually fit into the Muzzle of a 50cal. up to the neck on the vial with out going all of the way in. i have used them for 2 yrs. now without incident for my smokeless loads. $4.29 a doz. plus S&H. Product No.ST-1,Thought you might like to try these.They are also air & water tight.

The non-amber vials look like the ones that R. Wakeman distributes. The amber vials you can go to a pharmacy and buy empty. They have several sizes and shapes.

The plactic can develop a static charge, which can cause the powder to stick in the tube. Glass seems to have less problems with static.

I have had VERY little problem with this.. On an occasion maybe a couple of grains is about it...

That is all I ever had too.I just like the glass for its size and water tightness.You can use it by its self.I done a submersion test on them,they held up really well.They out lasted all the other bottles I had.

Just wipe them out with a '' Bounce Sheet '' antistatic sheet that you would throw in the dryer for clothes....Works for glass or plastic...no more poder clinging ....bompa

How much powder will an ST-1 vial hold?

After you put 44 grns. of Accurate Arms powder in one,it will be 3/4ths full. It should handle whatever load you wanted to try.

Good idea! Even though I haven't experienced this in RW's vials I have in some others.

 

[Hunt 4 Bucks]

I Never thought of the Bounce Sheet, it makes sense and I bet it make the vials smell nice too.

HI,

I use those plastic bottles; just great. No static. Hold whatever quantity of powder you want.

They go straigt into compartments of "fishing" box.
