Lubed fiber wad containers

[Intosomthin]

How many yall have access to " Dip tobacco" containers, weather yours or others? I find they conviently carry 10 packs of olive oil lubed 20 gaugefiber wads, the .50 inchers.

Pic 1 is open cans, 2 is closed, and 3rd is a ziplock bag, straw sucked shut, so it dont make such a hella mess, lol.

Works rather well overall

I use them all the time, I can pack in a bunch of the 15vs wads for my h&a underhammer. I made some leather wads from a old little league glove I'd like to try out, I can get about 30-40 in the cope can.
there a little slow opening ever since a crushed my had in a accident, I used to open a can with one hand.

I hope you found them grizzly cans lol.

Dont dip personally, I keep marboro in business tho, lol. Sorry to hear about hand, but if you like rest of us, you can prolly load with your toes if need be...

Lol yea, I just need to find a bag that works for me. Wish I had the money for a nice Fowler bag. The hands mostly fine, lost the dexterity, kinda they should not have reatched the finger tho.

what do you lube your wads with. I'm hoping to get a bear this year, I think the chew came maybe nice for some bear grease or some other patch lube.

I can fit a few jags and pullers in the fans to, I've used it for different bird shot. I normally carry #6 in a basic pouch I made but it's nice to have some #4-#5 if needed.

I just use plain ole olive oil. Some mix it with beezwax to thicken it a bit.

 

[Griz44Mag]

Empty cap tins or empty TOTW mink tallow tins for the bigger stuff.
Also use Price Pimento spread plastic tubs for stuff.

a novel idea! waist not want not! such a simple idea! recycling at it's best!!

Seresto flea collar can, about 4 “ in diameter. Take the shot bag and ticking out and it will hold approximately 50 pre lubed wads.
Way more than I care to shoot in one outing..

I don't dip but I am a pipe smoker and save all the tins. They come in all sorts of sizes and close up pretty tight but are easy to open. Percussion cap tins are a pain to open, at least with my big old fingers. I store lubed felt wads for revolvers and lubed patch material in them. If I ever get around to making a colonial era fishing outfit, it would fit easily into one of the larger tins.

For fun, I should make up a list of how my tobacco tins can be used with black powder shooting.

LOL, that brings back old memories. I watched my uncle open a flip top Prince Albert tin, pour and roll a cig on horseback and not lose a single shard of 'backy.

Dollar Tree, in their little craft section has these little round tins. Some the size of a chew can, some a little bigger than a cap can. I bought some. Don't know what I'm gonna do with them but I'm sure I will find something.

I use pipe tins as a holder for my flint & steel sets that I sell at gatherings. burn off the logo on the can's. they also make a good item for a survival fishing kit.

remember in the 1950's when we would call up the local Smoak shop and ask the guy, DO YOU HAVE PRINCE ALBERT IN THE CAN? AND WHEN HE REPLIES YES, WE WOULD SAY, WELL THEN LET HIM OUT!! the great old days when no one got harmed.

I use empty Crossman, Daisy etc. 22 pellet tins. They are about 2” in dia., hold lots of stuff, have a screw lid, and can be burned with a torch or in the fire to present a pleasing patina

 

[FishDFly]

Altoids tins work also.

 

[Intosomthin]

Well im glad i got yall thinkin n sharin, good stuff all around. I like repurposing things lyin about rather than buyin new, not cheap, just like reusing whats there

 

[toot]

I also save and use shoe polish tins. just melt out the polish residue and use a BURNSMATIS TORCH, to blacken it up. and VIOLA!!

 

[omark]

Well IM cheap. Mark
