I have been using these and they work great.. I wipe the tubes both inside and out with a dryer sheet to reduce static possibilities... The screw tops stay on the tube and eliminate any condensation or water intrusion.
I use different colored caps to differentiate powder VS bullet/primer tubes--no confusion in the field
I recommend these, price great, shipping fast

On the cheap, I've used this for years. Pour measured powder in empty paper 12ga. hull insert 16ga. plastic hull. Powder last as if in original can. Handy for hunting give it a twist and pull and pour in barrel.
RIP Mike. Died on July 14th, around 2am, with his family at his side, he went peacefully to be with god.

eye shot, I've done that sort of thing too - including sections of PVC pipe, 33mm film canisters, river cane, etc., etc.  But I now use Lane's screw top powder tubes.  If you ever get some you will kick yourself for not having gotten them sooner.

 I sent him a PM too. I don't think he swings by all that often. I did an email & he came right back. I should have 10 tubes on the way to try out.
