Designed to fit 8 pound jugs such as those from Shooters World and Hodgdon.
Also fits 5 pound jugs from Alliant.
- 1x CAP Lite seal
- 1x CAP Lite hanger
- 1x 32% Boveda two-way humidity pack
The research is clear
Changes in humidity will alter the weight of powder a seemingly meager 1%, while also causing a massive 200 ft/s shift in muzzle velocity.
Too dry and it becomes unsafe from increased pressure.
Too humid and you lose velocity.
Ammolytics solved this problem with the CAP Lite
- Maintains a consistent relative humidity for propellants like smokeless powder
- Reduces muzzle velocity variation by 200 ft/s
- Silicone seal locks in the humidity and increases pack longevity & effectiveness
- Hanger secures the humidity pack in the air space at the top of the jug to maximize airflow
- Bright colors enhance visibility and contrast with powder
- Seals designed for popular powder brands and jug sizes
- Constructed of high-quality, inert and chemical resistant materials
- Made in the USA
- Utility patent pending
Frequently Asked Questions
How will humidity packs change my muzzle velocity?
Depending on a variety of factors, humidity packs could either increase or decrease the amount of water content in your powder. More moisture leads to slower velocities. Storing powder with humdity packs can lead to more consistent muzzle velocity.
What factors affect the moisture content of my powder?
The following factors can have an impact on the moisture content of your powder: The relative humidity of your region, where you store your powder, the frequency with which you open the jugs, how long you leave the powder in your trickler system.
How long does it take for powder to stabilize?
In the experiments we've run, small quantities of powder stabilized within 48 hours. Larger quantities and greater differences from the target humidity level will require more time. Keeping the jug sealed with a CAP Lite will help it to stabilize faster.
Will you make a CAP Lite for other jug sizes or brands?
If there is enough demand for the current models of CAP Lite, then we will definitely reinvest and support more sizes.
Can I use a desiccant with the CAP Lite?
No. Desiccant packs can remove too much water content from your powder, causing it to burn hotter than expected which can lead to unsafe conditions.
Is the CAP Lite safe to use with my powder?
The CAP Lite is made from inert materials that do not off-gas. The seal is silicone rubber. The hanger is HDPE plastic, the same material that powder jugs are made from. The two-way humidity packs from Boveda only emit pure water and are no less safe than the air your powder is exposed to.
