	Don't know what capacity you're thinking about, but some medical supply outfits have small brown glass bottles with a screw-on teflon cap available that hikers buy to carry small quantities of iodine water purification tablets in.

	I cannot remember where I bought them but I picked up 100 vials with rubber stoppers used for blood samples. They fit in my plastic case just like a piece of brass so they don't spill and held a pre-weighed load measured at home in ideal conditions. Tom

	Fired cartridge cases with the fired primers in place work well. You probably have some. Pre-measure your charges. Find something suitable to use as a stopper (not bullets). You can write on the cases.

	Waterman, that is a fine idea, and cheap, too. Plus, if you ever need 'em the cases could be put back to work as intended.

I tried to find some square quart and pint metal cans like what paint used to come in. they just are not available in my area. I wanted something to put powder in from 8 lb. containers. check them out the have a huge inventory. joe gifford

	[]I have found powder charging at the range is pretty simple. I have both a belding mull and a rcbs little dandy a scale is needed to change the charge tube on the b&m unless charge tubes of the correct weight are made. It is easy to change rotors on the little dandy measure. both measures throw very consistence charge weights. I made a scope stand with an extra arm on it to hold the measure. the measure is simple to make, fits most benches and once attached is rock solid. handling 50 or a hundred little bottles sounds like more trouble than I would like.

	I had a friend who worked as a lab technician where they tested blood. They used glass tubes with rubber stoppers. They had a shelf life and they disposed of the unused tubes after so long. She gave them to me. I cleaned them and put powder charges in them. You might look here, (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I bought 150 of them from Buffalo Arms. They work great for transporting charges of coarse powders that do not meter well. Chris.

	.22-5-40 wrote on Jun 11^th, 2016 at 1:44pm: Wondering where I could buy small glass vials for powder transport to range? Hello 22-5-40. I usually get mine from a company that supplies Natural History collecting tools and equipment. These are glass and straight sided with a polythene cap which is water and alcohol proof. The company is based here in England but they have an on line catalogue. The tubes appear here. Scroll to near the bottom of the page. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) I used to order mine by the hundred but it looks like they only sell them by the dozen these days. They come in various sizes unfortunately measured in metric dimensions, so you will have to convert them to Imperial measurements. I don't know of any other source. VAT is not payable on US orders. Harry.

	I shoot a lot of 8.15x46r, I like 14gr of 4227, I use fired 357 brass & a small cork. The 357s fit rim first nicely into a 44 cal plastic cartridge box. Makes a neat package in the range box. Mike
