Paper reloaders for powder and shot
I tried the idea of a coin wrapper with an Oxyoke wad inside but none are small enough to slide into the .62cal bore.
So since I had to make something anyway, this is what I've come up with so far: Paper load carriers for powder or shot, following the general design of the paper cartridges that were used way back when...planning to use these on a dove shoot. 1) Cut sheets of 8.5" x 11" in half twice to get 4+1/4" x 5+1/2" sized papers 2)Roll a paper up using a 5/8" dowel with the end result being 4+1/4" long 3)Fold flaps on one end like a coin wrapper and crease shut against a hard surface 4)Pour in the powder or shot 5)Flatten the excess paper right in front of the contents to make sort of a tail out of the excess paper 6)1st fold = the tail folding 90 degrees flat across / above the contents, crease firmly; 7)2nd fold = the remaining tail wrapping back behind the tail’s body, crease firmly; 8)3rd fold = wrapping the remaining tip back across the tail’s body, crease firmly; 9) To use, tear off the tail and dump the contents down bore. 10) Swing on Dove and pull trigger 11) (following the shot, cussing is optional) ![]()
