When hunting with conicals I preferred the commercial speedloaders. Just for backup I'd also put a brass capper in my pocket in case I drop a cap or it doesn't go off for some reason. I did drop a cap a couple of times but never had one fail to fire when in the field.
If I was out a ways from camp I'd also carry a ball puller, just in case. That did get used once on a very wet hunt when I loaded while raining. I did not use a good technique and powder got wet.
I usually wear cargo pants so everything would fit in a thigh pocket.
I always liked his column, what a riot he was.
I found the "Sequential Vortex" story here:--->>> https://books.google.com/books?id=rn...Vortex&f=false
I may have left out some items, but you know what? I never used a speed loader!
Southern hunters are lucky that they don't usually need to deal with the same harsh deer hunting weather that northerners do! [smilie=w:
True, even during deer season we have to look out for rattlesnakes. And Hornets. And fire ants. And....
...And chiggers! I'll take the cold weather instead.
When I could still hunt, I carried the "Speedloaders" on a Lanyard around my neck, along with my short starter. The Speedloaders I used were the two compartment type with a percussion cap holder in one of the caps.
For storing cast & lubed bullets, I use TOBACCO "TINS". The kind the expensive tobacco comes in. I store them in the garage fridge. They work well for both 50cal & 54cal MAXI-BALLS.
I get my TOBACCO from the PipesandCigars.com. Perhaps if you know a Pipe Smoker, you could gift him a tin or 2 at XMAS, and ask for the tins when he's finished the TOBACCO in them.
They are them best storage box I've yet found, besides the ones for Factory Cast. At TWO DOLLARS A BULLET.
A "POSSIBLES" Bag can be anything. I made mine from Leather & Suede. But any kind of old bag with a strongly attached shoulder strap will do. My DAD used one of my MOM'S old Leather purses.
