Need recommendations for a black powder measure to be used with Thompson/Center muzzleloader.
Have also seen the little pre-measured plastic viles for holding black powder,would one of these do? Thanks. |
| If its a sidelock I dont think the the preformed charges of Pyrodex would work well if at all as they are designed for inline type BP rifles. I would go with an adjustable brass powder measure -I've seen them at Walmart for less than $10. This also gives you the advatage of working up a load for your rifle not to mention a 1 lb container of pyrodex or black powder is way cheaper than the pre formed stuff. |

Thompson Center U-View Powder measure is the best I have come across.

J- The U-Vus looks nice, I use the brass version of it, like this one: powder measure I use one of those. It is accurate and pretty tough. It is adjustable, which helps until you figure out what laod works best. Then all you need is a fixed measure. If I ever get around to it I will make something out of an antler or something. Jim |

J- Good advice. I have been using the U-view for years. I have older pre-measured tubes as well. One side is the power (Pyrodex) the other is the sabot and XTP. The quick loader has a short starter on it as well that comes in really handy. It is simple but very effective. My quick loaders were made by Knight. |
