Deer tine powder measure

[Daryl Crawford]

I've made 30, 50, 60, 70, and 80 grain measures. Working up a 90. That gives me powder and shot measures for each gun and varied loads of shot in my smoothbore. I mark them with dots like dice.

The ankle bones connected too the leg bone…

I guess I have, conservatively, a couple dozen measures or more; just no photos. A few I never seem to use and others I use frequently. Measures are just one of those things that seem to accumulate the longer one is into muzzleloaders.

This Thanksgiving save a turkey leg bone.

They make great powder measures and are already light and hollow. I usually saw-off the ends and add a wood plug rather than leave the "knuckle"

Well, it's time for me, and even maybe a few others, to hang our heads in shame
