Thompson Center 9038R POWDER MEASURE U-VIEW 150GR
Loading a muzzleloader demands precision, and the Thompson Center 9038R U-View Black Powder Measure delivers it every time. This 150-grain capacity powder measure is built for shooters who want consistent charges without the guesswork. The transparent design lets you see exactly how much powder you're charging, which means you can dial in your load and replicate it perfectly on every shot—critical whether you're sighting in at the range or hunting in the field.
The measure's adjustable locking shaft is the key to customization. Tighten it down to hold your chosen charge weight securely, so you load the same grain every time without variation. The swiveling loading spout keeps the design compact and functional—rotate it out of the way when you're filling the measure, then swing it back into position for pouring into your muzzleloader's breech. Because the cylinder is graduated in 5-grain increments starting at 15 grains, you can dial in loads from light target loads all the way up to 150 grains for maximum powder charges.
Powder bridging—when loose powder jams in the tube and won't flow—is a common frustration with black powder measures. Thompson Center's U-View design minimizes this problem, keeping your loading sessions smooth and predictable. The composite construction is lightweight, durable, and compatible with any muzzleloader on the market, whether you're shooting a modern inline or a traditional caplock rifle.
