Bag will hold approx. 25, .600 R/B or many more of a smaller caliber.
Priced at $75.00 which includes shipping to the lower 48 and AK.

That's some nice work and an interesting shape. The price is very reasonable too. It makes me wonder if you could make a bag that held the balls in one side and the powder in another. Sort of a two headed thing.

I make one like this where balls go on one side and powder or shot on the other.

That's what I had in mind after I saw your first post. That's as about as handy a bag as I've seen. No need to carry a powder horn. I like your work.

Be glad to make one for you.

Thanks for the offer but I'm one of those guys who likes to make my own things. I'm not above borrowing other folks ideas though and yours is a good one.

I really like the ball and powder bag. How does the powder work for pouring out?

Solid brass spout such as this.

Would you me one with a custom strap

Sure, give me more info on the "custom strap".

I have a number of bags from Cutfingers, including the double ball bag, a couple of singles, and a single with a spout like shown above for powder. My double ball bag has .62 round balls on one side and birdshot on the other. The single spouted bag is my powder horn for my fowler. With a couple sets of wads in my pocket, I am all set for the day.

I also have two portmanteaus (one as a range bag and one with a change of blouse and stockings). He does excellent work and is great to deal with. I highly recommend him and his work.

I definitely want one of those double bags just figuring out the strap.

I second Cutfingers quality and workmanship. I have quite of few of his leather items, including a shot snake, two ball bags with straps, game bag and a couple of leather wallets.. his stuff is top notch and he’s easy to deal with.

Are you thinking about a hand woven strap?
If so I have this one currently up for sale and could easily adapt it to fit the ball bag.
As pictured it measures 64" by 1 3/4".

No but I like it, one like this. Wide, double layered in front so I can make slots for a few things like this

Not quite sure what you are referring to with "double layered in front". It would appear what you want is a hide strap as pictured and not a woven strap.

How wide do you have in mind?

It needs to be about 3” wide. The front for right hand no buckle or anything in the way and an extra matching piece of leather that I can sew on block pocket, ball starter and other things. The strap leather match the double ball bag.

How much powder does that hold? I like the design of it, what might be the measurements?
Thanks for any info.
