Many moons ago I was and still am anal about one hole groups. I started weighing T7 FF and T7 FFF. Anyway I did not have anything to store the pre measured loads in so I went to Hm Depot and bought a roll of 1/2" clear tubing, looked around and found some 1/2" tan PVC caps. I cut the tubing to the correct length, glued the caps on one end and wrapped one turn of 1/2" masking tape on the other so the cap would not slip off and wala they are great. No static,so the powder comes out easily and I can pinch the end when pouring powder down the barrel on never drop a granual. I can cut the tubing to the exact length I need for the different loads.I do not know if it works out cheaper than the ones ya'll buy or more expensive but they work and never roll off my uneven loading table  Just two cents more from an ole newby |

Went to Home Depot to purchase the items to make the vials from vinyl tubing. Found 20 feet of 1/2" clear vinyl tubing but could not find the caps. Went and got 48" of 7/16 wooden dowel to plug the ends. I cut them with a dremel tool. Top you just pinch off. Worked like a charm. If I cut three inch sections I could make 80 vials with the tubing. As it is I have less than $8.50 invested. There is some static electricity involved but all you have to do is tap the tube a couple of times and all the granules fall out. Here is 65 grains of IMR4831. Takes up all 3" of tubing.  |

One more thing. Deadon stated that his vials had no static but I did experience a little static in my vials but I am wondering if it is me. I get shocked everywhere I go and have to tap the side of my car door before I get out or I will get shocked when I touch the door to open it.
Also another member reccommended that dryer sheets twisted and run through vinyl tubing will get rid of any static. Good thinking!

Doug, I had poured T7 FF and T7 FFF in them many times before i used them with smokeless powder. Maybe made a difference, Maybe not. I like yours better than mine ;D
