Joe I appreciate that info...I'll file it and also do a web search to see if I can find any out of curiosity.
I assume they're plastic and not glass for obvious reasons...is there a particular model or size thats best?
I actually have a good supply of Blue & Gray plastic powder / shot pocket reloaders and they work well...but the bad news is I'm constantly having to fiddle with them...taking caps off, putting caps back on, then ensuring I tuck the reloader away so I don't lose it, etc.
Am interested in the coin wrapper idea because they're disposable...nothing of value to lose...might work well during a dove shoot.
For my .62cal I was thinking about folding/gluing one end of a coin wrapper shut, then seating a .58cal Oxyoke wonderwad all the way down into it so the wad bottoms out on the end that's glued shut.
Then pour in the premeasured powder and fold the excess paper in a way that leaves a tail making it easy to tear off / open later.
In use...tear off the tail and put the open end of the torn wrapper into the bore so the powder drops, leaving the end with the wad sticking up just above the muzzle.
Seat the whole wad/paper combo downbore, pour in the shot, and add the OS card.
A question that bothers me is this:
"Since the coin wrapper paper is down on the powder with the wad above it, will all the paper be consumed by the fire "inside the bore", or will flaming paper exit the bore, possibly starting a fire in dry grass, etc" ?[
