Combination Loading Block / Powder Measure

Deer sinew cord?

LOL !!!! That's how I received it. Just cut the cord off and store it in a pouch. It's really not as practical as it first appears. But the general idea intrigued me. You would not want to "slap" your hand down on top of it while loading. LOL But if you grab around the circumference of the horn, with your thumb on top, it does work. Would be ok for hunting. But wouldn't want to use it all day at the range.

They are friction fit. If I remember correctly, the plastic powder tubes were bought at Cabela's.

thank you for the reply.

Really clever ideas guys. That butterfly pattern is pretty cool Tom. Here's a combination powder measure and short starter I picked up a while back from a Canadian guy. Wouldn't want to use it for a long day at the range, but it works.

Imaginative. Rifle included?

That's very nice and you can tell you enjoy making things yourself.

if it works then use it, till something else comes along.
