Homemade brass powder measures.

[Adam Helmer]

Joe Boleo,

First, I liked your part in my favorite Movie, "Drums Along the Mohawk." That aside, yes one needs a powder can and lots "of dumping" into my brass chargers, but it is safer than charging from can, or horn, to muzzle, eh, wot?

I affix a case measure to the strap of my possibles bag so I can MEASURE from Horn or Can to get the desired charge, don't you know? For really easy powder dispensing, we old reenactors use free nickel coin wrappers from our bank and put by whatever charge we desire and secure the end flaps with a bit of Scotch tape. Now that is a perfectly biodegradeable sort of fix, don't you see for walking/running about in the reenactment scenario, eh, wot? We do not leave plastic vacutainers scattered about, merely paper nickel coin wrappers that are Nature Friendly don't you know? Some reenactors are color blind, but buff nickel wraps are not a problem. 10-4?
