Refitting the muzzleloaders...

[Adam Helmer]

roundball,

I put a pre-measured charge of 2F, 3F, Pyrodex or whatever into the nickel coin wrapper. First, I fold over one end of the wrapper and secure it with a postage-stamp size piece of scotch tape. I then pour in the powder charge, flip over a small portion of that end and secure it with scotch tape.

I do not insert the coin wrapper into a gun bore. I tear the end off the coin wrapper and pour the pre-measured charge down the barrel. I put 10 or 20 pre-measured charges into a plastic zip lock bag, label the outside with a marker and tote the baggie afield.
