Ready-Shot Powder Tubes
I picked these up from ebay today....simple, yet brilliant idea. Allows you to per-measure out your powder at the bench before you head to the range. The plastic tubes are rugged and seal well with a stopper. They have a small enough opening, you can pour directly into the barrel.
You get 25 tubes for $10 (s/h included). Excellent deal

I use this neat little 3 shot holder which also as room for 209 primers. I also use the tubes that held IMR white hot pellets and pour the measured volumetric load into them for a quick load down the barrel.

Has too much time on their hands
That's a good deal. I use paper cartridges I make myself but at $10 for 25 (reusable) tubes it's hardly worth making them. Of course, you wouldn't be allowed to use them at a Rendezvous.

Great plan!! i'm using .308 cases with a tire valve cap on top similar, but I'm shooting smokeless in a savage!

Great Idea! I also collect the tubes from the "white hots" powder. Prior to heading out to the range, I load a bunch with just 2 pellets and the bullet. Save's me time and gives me a piece of mind of dropping the safe amount of charge.

I just picked up some new 'gongs' for the range...$6 for all these at an estate sale, so lots of targets to put holes in.

Oh the beautiful cast iron, it almost pains me to think that they will be used for this.
