Pellet Packer

[MikeC]

Not PC but thought it may be useful for upland bird hunting where things could happen pretty quick at times. Anyone use them? I was thinking they would simplify a quick reload while in the field, without fumbling around in a bag looking for different components that make up a charge.

Opinions and options always appreciated.

Mike, If you used pellets in a sidelock gun, you'd probably need to "prime" with black powder just to get the gun to fire reliably. Le Grand

LeGrand...It's called a "pellet packer". The "pellet" refers to shot pellets not powder pellets. It's a 4"x1"x1" plastic case with 3 seperate compartments, the center being the largest to hold powder and shot in the outside smaller compartments and wads in the center larger compartment.

I have some two-compartment tubes for shot and powder that I have used for years. They speed loading in the field and greatly reduce the bulk and weight you must carry in the field. I put some wads in my pocket along with 8-10 preloaded tubes and leave my shooting bag and shot snake in the truck.

Mike, Wow! There's something new every week for this old sport. Le Grand

I couldn't help it. :wink:

FWIW, I've turned down some more "modern" advertisers lately.
