This is what I use. I have used other but I always return to this one. Other will have other suggestions...

Thompson Center Brass Volume measure.

The BIG thing is to develop a method of filling and cutting the powder with the sliding top. Once developed repeat it every time.

I use the cheap clear plastic tubes to find the "volume" charge size. Then I weigh it and load all my cheap clear tubes with that exact same weighed volume charge amount.

Mine are all hand made bye me of deer antler. But then I shoot flint long rifles and am a bit of a traditionalist.

I first eye ball my powder in a measuring tube by volume then I use a digital scale to weigh each load out. I aim for 77-78 grains by weight which equates to roughly 110 grains by volume
