Powder Measures.

Adjustable powder measures are fine at the bench, but I prefer fixed measures that are consistent for field use. I found a .444 Marlin cartridge case holds about 70 grains of 2F Goex. I picked up a half dozen cases at the range, polished them with Brasso and put one in each possibles bag and tethered one to each of my 3 powder horns.

I use a .44 Special brass cartridge case that now drops 25 grains of 3F for my .44 Remington C&B revolver. The brass cases are easy to file down to get the desired charge.
