nothing fancy, just useful.The large one is for trail walks at a range where they shoot 20 to 25 targets, the small one on the necklass is for hunting shown with the leather capper.

This is the one I posted earlier. I use this for hunting. Seldom need more that one shot, but i have two extras just in case. Fits in the pocket of my hunting jacket with no sharp corners to poke holes in the lining. The added shot starter is a nice feature because my preferred load is snug and I need the short starter to get the ball in the bore.

This one was made by a hunting buddy. Not used much anymore. The attached short starter.

Yes, one of the .32 loading blocks is made from part of a moose antler. The small 3-hole block is a .32 and it attaches to the end of my powder horn with magnets. The block shaped like a beaver has a leather tail as a cap holder and a cavity as a powder measure.
