stained antler powder measure
« on: February 05, 2018, 09:45:22 AM »
Holds 85 grains which is the optimum charge for my .54 plains rifle. Made by a friend.

Thank you Tim.  I don't know why my laptop won't let me post a picture directly on here like other forums but I'll keep working on it.

BTW; curious minds wanted to know what the powder measure was stained with, so here it is; "a mixture of Rit Dye and good ol' high octane coffee."
