Description

• Disposable plastic construction keeps cost minimal.
• Sealed end protects powder from moisture until use.
• Simplifies the loading process, especially with cold fingers or in low light.

Here’s the thing—at just $4.13, this isn’t a piece of precision-machined gear. It’s a practical, disposable accessory that solves a specific problem: the mess and hassle of measuring powder from a flask at the range or in a hunting blind. The plastic tube is typically filled by the shooter to their preferred charge weight (e.g., 100 grains of powder) and the open end is then sealed with a plug or by melting the plastic. When ready to load, you bite or cut off the sealed end, pour the powder down the barrel, and discard the tube. It’s a straightforward system that’s been around for years because it works. The product is drop-in ready and requires no modification to your firearm, making it an easy add-on for any muzzleloader shooter looking to streamline their process.

Who It’s For

This speed loader is ideal for the budget-conscious muzzleloader hunter or shooter who values practicality over fancy features. It’s perfect for someone who wants to pre-measure charges at home for consistency and speed afield. If you own a popular .50 caliber inline muzzleloader from brands like CVA, Traditions, or Thompson/Center, this accessory will fit right into your kit. It’s also a solid choice for new muzzleloader owners who are getting a feel for the loading process and want to minimize variables and mess while they learn.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Extremely low cost allows you to buy several. Reduces powder spillage and keeps your gear cleaner. Speeds up reloading significantly, which can be crucial during a hunt. Pre-measuring ensures charge consistency from shot to shot. Lightweight and easy to carry in a pocket or pack.

Cons: Plastic is single-use and not environmentally friendly—you’ll have spent tubes to pack out. Requires preparation time at home to fill and seal each tube. The plastic can become brittle in very cold weather. It’s a basic tool with no frills; don’t expect durability or reusable mechanics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What powder charge does this hold?

A: The tube itself doesn’t have a set charge; you fill it with your preferred measured amount of loose powder (e.g., 90, 100, or 120 grains) before sealing it. This allows you to customize it for your specific load and firearm’s recommendations.

Q: Is it reusable?

A: No, this is a disposable, single-use speed loader. After you pour the powder charge, the empty plastic tube is typically discarded. The value comes from the convenience and time saved during loading, not from long-term reuse.

Q: Will it work with pelletized powder?

A: No, it is designed for loose granulated black powder or black powder substitutes. Powder pellets are a different shape and size and are meant to be loaded directly into the barrel without a measuring device like this tube.
