Ability to load at the range

[Todd Earhart]

I have been gathering all from suggestions and things I felt like I needed. I don't want to use anything from the shop loading equipment. I wanted to try to keep from forgetting something by it being completely separate. Its been very busy at work but I hope to get to try next week.

Thanks buddy, I was a little disappointed in todays Lg target but I know what happened so I can prevent that while moving forward.

If you have a funnel set with screw on heads. This is what I came up with. .338 head. .223 case tapers perfect. Rock solid.

Even better, great job..

What funnel.are you using to get the powder into the vials? Thx

This may work for you too.

Are you getting static powder cling on either the vial or funnel? Plastic. Why I went with Glass, however they are much smaller vials.

 

[quest450]

Not really but I always tap the plastic vial on the edge of the funnel after I dump powder charge into a case just to make sure nothing sticks

 

[quest450]

the 4mil is perfect size for Dasher, BRA size cartrige, it probably holds about 50 grains of Varget/H4895 powder. I use 10mil vials for 300WSM

These 5ml vials are larger than needed for small cartridges, but the Lee or MTM plastic funnel fits them. The 2ml vials had enough room for my use, but the funnel didn't fit them.

What you need to take is pretty simple and you can go from there. If you bring f.l. sized and primed cases, all you need is powder and a way to seat bullets. Weighed charges at home in vials is doable to a point. Or just bring a small tool box with the measure on it and a chart of the measure settings for a given charge weight of the different powders you want to try.

Exactly! I have a notebook with powder drop 'dope'. Everything I need is in either the ammo can or the tool bag. The cheapo scale is my 'reasonableness checker". Note the homemade ogive nut, loading block, and pre-primed brass. To wit:

My most important item for my field reloading is a home-made windproof box made of plywood and plexiglass to house my 10-10 or electronic scale out of the wind. Here shown with 10-10 that has floor slots for its 3-legs with room for a powder trickler. Doors each end allow left and right hand manipulations of scale/trickler. Left door has a sliding plexiglass door. Generally, throw a towel over right door when hand is inserted. Box is 3-legged for stability on the bench.

Or, just get a ChargeMaster Lite, which has the best wind guard of anything I have ever seen.

it’s scale is about the same accuracy level as all of the other scales that will weigh within +-.1 grn.

All you need is one of these to power it

It’s really a simple way to solve a problem.

By the way. On the three Rifles I shoot the most, 6PPC, 30BR, and 6 BRA, I rarely take the loading equipment and range equipment out of my truck. Just the Rifles and powder.

That way I don’t forget things.

I am curious what you guys are using to transport your glass powder vials around. I ended up getting 100 of the 10ml vials, they are a little on the large side, but I like the opening of the larger vials. Now I just need a case to store and transport them in. The base of the vial is almost an inch so I am not sure there is a bullet case that will work?
