Do you use glass vials for preloads?

[AlNyhus]

Though I prefer to throw charges at the range, I have tried the plastic vials several times. A dryer sheet swiped around the inside works great for static.

I use vials when traveling and shooting multiple days or events.

So.... pardon my ignorance.

If I follow this thread correctly, ya'll are pre-loading charges?

If so, what do you find to be advantageous to this practice?

Asking because I have never seen nor thought about this

Thanks.

I do it when I have the opportunity to do load development. As soon as I find a load that doesn’t work, I move on to the next charge. It saves having to pull down loaded rounds that did not shoot well.

This is what I am looking for, except does it only hold 25?

Use one dram vials and then go to mdt sight and look on medical side they have 64 ct boxes made for one dram vials. Solid box very tight fit. Been using for years.

The glass vials I bought came with a divided cardboard box that works well for carrying them around.

Now I just take the scale and thrower to the range.

When I go to the two day matches, I will carry my chargemaster also.

But for the 1 day 100/200 matches I will soon be running, when I probably only need 110 rounds, I will carry these vials (since I only have 93 cases).

When my new barrel comes in, and I set up new brass for that barrel, I will be running 200ish pieces of brass, and this will not be an issue. Hunter taper barrels are not ran that often, so it may be a year before I get my new barrel (that's why I have 2 on order).

Another option (source) - vials

1 dram holds about 70 grains of H4350.
