What speed loaders do you guys recommend to get? Ones that will work for both loose and pellets. Thanks

I use the Knight's and have not had any issues with them.  They work, the caps stay on have never had any moisture get in them.  Never used anything else so I really don't have anything to compare against.

I use the Powerbelt speedloader. I like it because it is 1 piece. It has a rubber top and 3 tubes that insert into it. I load 2 tubes with powder charge and 1 with 2 bullets and several caps. I like that it is all 1 piece and I don't have extra stuff rattling around in my pocket or pack while hunting. Also when I reach for it everything is there and I don't need to sort through to find what I need. I shoot loose powder and I don't like to put my bullet and powder in the same tube as the powder moves around the bullet and makes it difficult to empty.  :twocents:

Does the bullet and powder go in the same tube or is there a divider? The description isn't very good on knights website

The Knight speed loaders are the worst I've seen.  (No offense to those that like them).I bought some off the the Knight site and would never use them to hunt. (I'm a fan of Knight rifles, but not a fan of the junk accessories that they sell.)  The lid attaches with a plastic loop and the lids don't really feel that secure.  But they're fine for the range.  I've got some traditions speed loaders that are way better; you don't have to worry about the cap loops catching and pulling the caps open - and they close very securely.

I use a Zip Fizz container. I forgot my speedloader once and found a couple of the empty Zip Fizz deals in my truck. It fits 2 pellets 1 bullet and some paper towel so it doesnt rattle around and then the musket cap. Dry and tight. Cheap too.
