What's your favorite 209 capping tool?

Anyone have any favorite capping methods for the Encore 209 X 50?  Ways you carry your bullets, powder or caps?

I cap mine using a simple brass capper such as the TDC #209 Shotshell Capper from Cablela's.  There are a number of places to buy the same or very similar cappers.  I remove the springy clip from the end and replace it with a keyring.  I put a slight downward bend on the business end and also use a punch and hammer to flatten the rivet just a bit more.  

Works well for me.  

I carry pre-weighed powder charges in small plastic containers, bullet carry varies with the bullet.  I also carry a very small plastic funnel which makes pouring the powder a much easier and neater process.

It's hard to beat the TC 4 in 1 speedloader for carry powder and bullet but the straight capper is still needed.  http://www.tcarms.com/mlaccessories/loadimp/4n1quikshot.html

I shoot mostly .45 caliber and those particular speedloaders aren't made for .45.
WHUT?
