Description
The Thompson Center U-View Powder Measure T/C Muzzleloaders Clear Plastic/Brass is a simple, transparent powder flask accessory designed for precise and visible powder dispensing for muzzleloading rifles. It allows shooters to measure and pour black powder or Pyrodex pellets directly from the flask with a clear view of the charge level, ensuring consistent loads for accuracy and safety. This tool is built for the practical shooter who values repeatable performance in the field or on the range.
Key Features
- Clear Visual Confirmation: The transparent plastic body lets you see your powder level at a glance—no guesswork when you’re loading your final shot of the day.
- Brass Funnel & Spout: Durable brass components provide a solid, corrosion-resistant pour spout for clean transfers directly into the barrel.
- Integrated Measuring Chamber: The fixed chamber measures a specific volume, promoting consistent charge weights shot after shot. That consistency is what turns a hopeful shot into a confirmed hit.
- Secure Threaded Cap: Keeps your powder dry and contained, a critical detail when you’re moving through brush or dealing with variable weather.

Who It’s For
This measure is for the muzzleloader hunter who doesn’t consider their rifle a novelty but a primary tool. It’s for the shooter who practices with the same gear they hunt with and understands that a consistent powder charge is the foundation of downrange performance. If you run a T/C Triumph or Pro Hunter during Missouri’s blackpowder season, this is a low-cost piece of kit that eliminates one more variable. It’s also a solid backup for any traditional sidelock shooter wanting a quick, spill-resistant way to manage powder in the field.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The clear body is the main advantage—you verify your charge visually before it ever touches the barrel. The brass spout is durable and won’t spark. At this price point, it’s an accessible upgrade for any T/C shooter. It’s simple, reliable, and fits out of the box with your existing routine. The fixed volume chamber enforces load discipline, which is a safety feature as much as a performance one.
Cons: The fixed measuring chamber means it’s designed for a single, specific charge volume. If you experiment with different load weights, you’ll need separate measures or a different adjustable tool. It’s a dedicated accessory for Thompson Center muzzleloaders and may not interface perfectly with other brand’s loading sequences or barrel diameters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this with loose black powder and Pyrodex pellets?
A: Yes, it is designed to handle both loose granulated black powder (or substitutes like Pyrodex RS) and pelletized propellants. The clear chamber lets you see if pellets are oriented correctly for a smooth pour.
Q: Is this compatible with non-Thompson Center muzzleloaders?
A: While designed specifically for T/C rifles, the basic function works with any muzzleloader that uses a similar powder charge. However, the spout size and ergonomics are optimized for T/C’s breech plug and barrel designs, like those on the Triumph and Impact series.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: Simple disassembly is key. Unscrew the brass spout and cap to separate components. Wipe down the clear plastic with a dry cloth to remove residual powder dust. Avoid harsh solvents on the plastic that could cause clouding—warm, soapy water is sufficient. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and storing.
Look, precision in muzzleloading doesn’t require complex gadgets; it requires reliable tools that perform a single function well. The Thompson Center U-View Powder Measure does exactly that. It provides a visual check and a consistent charge, two factors that directly influence where your bullet lands. This accessory is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide. Add it to your kit before your next range session or hunt.
