    Can't see how much is remaining unless the bottle is backlite. I've run out a few times

    No not really. I just replace them every 4 years or so. If there 10 bucks apiece its around 2 bucks a year. Big deal and you don`t have to wait for one to break.

    I refill both shot and powder after each 100 loaded. Gives you a break also. Problem solved.

    It's always a good idea to give shot bottles the squeeze test occasionally to make sure they aren't getting brittle. It's not a pretty sight when 10 lbs. worth of shot spills on the floor.

    Now I know the bottle will lost its transparency.

    I was told told that Evian bottles have the same thread size and will fit.
