Brass Powder Chargers
« on: February 19, 2010, 08:49:34 AM »
From time to time, when out hunting, I don't really want to carry a load of gear.  Rather than a horn and pouch, I carry a bullet board and four or five of these brass chargers for powder.  I made these to hold up to 120 grains of 3F powder, but have made several others to hold larger and smaller powder charges.  I also use one to carry five or six unpatched round balls or a charge of shot.  They work great slipped in a pocket for a quick afternoon walk about when I don't intend to do a lot of shooting.  (They also work well to keep small items organized inside a pouch.  I have another one that has a long wooden spool I made for thread and a few heavy needles.)

Mark,

Yes, they are made of brass tubing.  I made a special tool to punch out the brass disks for the ends of the tubes and then they are soldered in place.

Dr Tim,

I had not thought of offering them for sale, but if you are interested in a few, please send me an e-mail and we can sort something out.  I will come up with a price and, if it is agreeable, I can make them up for you.
