Am still relatively new to muzzleloading, about a year now. I shoot primarily club matches, load from the bench using a steel range rod.
That being said my club has scheduled what they call a "primative" match, that requires loading from the pouch.
Since I have never done that, figured their would be a learning curve with respect to the mechanics of this, so decided I'd better practice it. Organizing the bag, holding the rifle while measuring powder, starting a tightly patched ball without a mallet, using a thin flimsy wooden ramrod, my first reload from the bag gave the following result.
Would appreciate any tips, tricks, or suggestions as how to better manage the mechanics of loading from a shoulder bag.
