I have a question. I switched from pellets to loose powder 2 years ago and I noticed something the other day. I have two types of speed loaders. The hard acrylic plastic clear 4 in 1 cabelas brand loaders(I believe they used to be T/C brand) with the soft rubber caps. Anyway these are kind of pricy at $7 a piece. Then I discovered the traditions loose powder speed loaders(Bass Pro's redhead line also carries them). The plastic on these isn't quite as durable but they work just fine and are less then half the price then the others(2 for $6). Anyway, the compartments for the loose powder on both types of speed loaders has measuring lines for the loose powder and I found that there is s difference of 20 grains between the two types of loaders. For example, 80 grains by volume in the cabelas loader reads 100 grains when poured into the traditions loader. This doesn't seem right or even safe for that matter. Which is correct or more correct? This might be a safety issue if one were to use loads close to or at the max. Has anyone else ever noticed this problem? Also, I am using blackhorn 209 powder which meters much like smokeless powder so not settling correctly in the tubes is not an issue. I already thought of that.
