I've made a few dippers from fired cases, with handles soldered on like GOB described. I use those for dipping smokeless, though.
For ML hunting, I made up some containers for pre measured powder charges out of scrap bits of plastic plumbing pipe. A wood plug glued in one end, a cork in the other. You can write what the charge is on the pipe with a Sharpie, and it's permanent.

For hunting, I took and old set of antlers and drilled out the inside; scrimshawed the powder charge on the side. I also carry premeasured charges in some empty glass medicine vials capped with a cork stopper, attached with a leather thong. I'll try and post some pics later.
