Because not everyone cares about being traditional. You cannot judge everyone by your standards. Some people just want to shoot their guns. Shooting muzzleloaders is not only about being traditional, historic, or anything other than shooting for some. We need to understand and respect that.Poor Private said:Even though I myself is not period correct, or even totally traditional. I have a question for those of you who use "plastic". --Why? We go to great lenghts to wear tradional clothes, use period style weapons, why use cartridges, and plastic for powder measures when you can pick up several different styles of brass measures for a few bucks to almost free(.50-buck) at gun shows for used ones. why not use natural style measures such as horns, antlers, and the like. It's the same way when I see someone useing those plastic sleeves for premade loads. It's winter for goodness sake get off your lazy butts and make paper rounds for the upcoming season. I do And when I get them made I store them in ammo cans, for when I go out into the field. why dress up in all your period gear, carry a period weapon, and leathers, then ruin it all by pulling out a piece of plastic :barf: .
Perhaps they are "Period" ammo cans. :rotf:Yeah, ammo cans are traditional, huh!
