    I'm diabetic but my test strips are in a circular disc. I don't know any others that test regularly. I don't either but don't tell anyone.

    I think my best course is to buy the tubes and make a holder. They aren't expensive.

    These are nice.
    The ones with the corks might be just right.

    I used to develop and print my own 35mm film. So I have quite a few of the empty film canisters. I use a few of them to carry premeasured powder charges when I hunt with my ML. I also use a grease pencil to write the weigt of the powder charge. Since the canisters are plastic, you can squeeze them into a spout when you need to reload.

    That's what I like about the plastic as opposed to glass. You can squeeze them down and load your .32 if you have to (being charged by a killer squirrel for instance).

    Got the glass vials and cork stoppers.
    Been trying to figger what I want the box to be.
    If I had the free time I'd have put together a wooden box with the bottom decked with partitions.

    Leather box with a wood insert that has holes drilled to accept the vials. Something that looks like civil war issue.

    I bought these, they are the top of the line if you ask me. They aren't kidding when they say they are tough. The caps hold on very tight.

    Has anyone ever used this or anything similar? How did it work?
    Never used anything like that. I could see premeasured charges for competition shooting, but for hunting and range time, I just use a powder flask with the correct nozzle. I have one for my revolver and one for my .32 cal squirrel gun.

    Those are the ones I bought only a place called Kentucky Bill's sells them (finally found the place!). You get 1- more tube and free shipping is the only difference I see.

    RMC quick load tubes:

    I use these tubes. I cut them shorter as I use much less than their 150 gr. capacity I also cut off one cap keeper rubber thread and glued its end cap onto the clear plastic tube.

    I went to Hobby Lobby and got the plastic tubes used for storing things like seed beads (jewelry section). Just a little over .5" dia and they can be cut down to whatever charge I want (I'm shooting a rifle, not pistol). I will also put two or three PP bullets ready to load, one with a bunch of veggie wads, etc.

    They also have some smaller stuff and glass stuff if you'd rather have that material. I think I remember some small ones that would be perfect for pistol loads.

    Got some 7/8 diameter x 1 1/2 tall glass bottles with corks from ebay.
    They hold a 150 grains and more.
    Got an 8 x 8 steel file card box for a couple of bucks at a goodwill store that I'm fitting out with partitions.

    I was able to get small pill containers from my local pharmacy, they work great for me.
