Greased patches in the shooting pouch

[elkhart]

I've been using small round tin boxes to keep pre-cut greased patches in my shooting pouch. I don't like them because they are noisy and take up a lot of room in the pouch. What are you folks using to hold greased patches in your shooting pouch?

Hinged boxes are easier in my view.
Leaving lubed patches loose in a bag gives a pouch wonderful patina though.

I was using "antiqued" Altoid tins, but lately I've been recycling cap tins to hold a stack of patches and take up less room in my pouch.

I make these out of old leather scraps. Holds about 25 but you can make them any length you want.

Leave the tins at home.  Take a needle and some hemp string and thread the patches on to it.  Tie a knot in the end and tie it to your pouch or horn strap.  Just pull one off as you need it.  Load a few more than you think you'll need that day.

Small zip lock bags or percussion cap tins.

That is what a patch box is for or carry them dry and loose in your pouch and use the tallow hole in your stock. Stick a patch over the tallow hole when not in use and it won’t collect debris.

I'm with Rich.  Here's my favourite...a Ted Cash box of copper I won at a shooting event.

At times I have used a sandwich bag cleverly hidden inside a small leather pouch or a jacket pocket .

I use these:
Smaller ones fit in the bag, larger ones fit in the shooting box.
Top left is sold by track, as are the 2 middle right ones, same as Taylor's for the one
on the right, middle row. The others are various boxes, Sucrets tin & air-rifle pellet boxes too
with screw-top lids. Forgot to include the JSB pellet tins which have simple push on lids.
I really like the round one, top left - Trackofthewolf for my .69 patches. Right now, it has 16 bore balls in it.(.662")

Vintage Sucretes or mint boxes with hinged lids. I usually burn the paint off.
If using tallow or other stiff lube I use the patch box on the rifle unless it’s  a wood lid type.

For hunting (over .54 cal) - paper ctg. or with smaller bores, wooden loading blocks or tins.
