Different strokes. But after trying to pour out some powder at the range in a stiff wind, with some granules blowing away, I like the idea of the wind proof tube for even a normal muzzleI understand why those with a Muzzle Brake might and probably benefit from this new device! But, for myself and without any rifles with a Muzzle Brake - I really do not think it would be something that would benefit me. My initial reaction is/was it seems awful bulky to me.
For several years now I have been using a Muzzle-Loaders 4-in-1 loader while hunting. I actually have no idea builds these for the Nuzzle-Loaders.com.

Powder capacity - It designates that the capacity is labeled 140 grains by volume of powder, But.. if you load it to the top the capacity would be 150 gr V.
The other functions I really like is bullet starting functions of starting a sabot/bullet or sabotless bullet into the muzzle and then through the crown.
Then the ability to use the body of the Loader as an aid to seating the bullet on the powder. The loader does have a place in the body to place the bare end of the gun ram rod in to and become Palm Saver to push the bullet down the bore.
For myself this works very well as an in-the-field while hunting - loader
I know what you mean! but.. at the range I really never use speed loaders! I am not in a hurry at all as I do want the bore to cool a little. So at the range I have 15 to 30 tubes premeasured out and the tubes are filled. For myself - speed loaders are for in the field in a hunting situation. In either situation I really have never had a real spillage problem, sure I might lose a few grains now and then but it really does not affect accuracy or POI to 200 yards. I do often use the thumb and index finger to direct the powder down the bore.Different strokes.

I was under the assumption that with this type of speed loader that some sabots and projectiles will not fit. Evidently its working well for you.I understand why those with a Muzzle Brake might and probably benefit from this new device!

What twist is your rifle?
I’m still using them as well.I still use some of the 7ml tubes that I ordered about 25 years ago.
I also learned long ago that a "quick" reload while hunting is probably not going to happen for me. I get too nervous so I just throw the contents of the first "speed" loader on the ground. Helps calm me down.
static never occurred to me .......An update on this loader. After hiking about 30 miles with it in my pocket in CO last weekend, I did notice considerable static build up with BH209. So I would recommend the dryer sheet or graphite trick to alleviate that before filling.

Yes. Although it depends on the tube and the powder.is this a potential issue with all tube powder holders ?
You coat the inside with a tiny bit of powdered graphitestatic never occurred to me .......
is the dryer sheet trick simply wrapping the loader in one ?
what is the graphite trick ?
