Over the years I've accumulated quite a few quick loaders of various kinds, always wanting to take advantage of design improvements. I would stash them in my various bags and cases as I went to the range or field. I would only take 4 or 5 while hunting figuring if I didn't have a deer on the ground after 4 shots I should probably call it a day. One day before heading to the range I decided to gather all of my quick loaders up into one place. I found that after many seasons, I had empty and and also full loads ready to go. I ended up with about a dozen already loaded and headed out. At the range, I was able to get a lot more shots off in shorter time and it turned out to be a really good day punching holes. As I was getting near the end of my preloads I realized that even though there were quite a few distractions that day, the fact that i was using preloaded tubes meant that unless I was being a total dunderhead I had (ALMOST) no chance of putting a ball in before the powder. Since then I load up my tubes at home where I can recover any spilled powder and clean up any lube that isn't where it should be. Makes things go so much easier at the range and I expect i won't need my ball puller any time soon.
As a side note, those loaders that have the a short starter built into the design work really well, at least for me!
