    Scroll to the bottom for an idea from the 80s - the Sussex Armoury Pellet Dispenser.

    I just put a handful in my jacket pocket. Same as I do with my .22lr bullets. Works for me. Takes seconds to fill the magazine with 5 bullets.

    Normally top the mag off when waiting for bugs to pop out of his hole.

    So, have all the pocket re-loaders emptied them buying new guns and damaged their skirts to boot
    Can't remember the last time I had a spare pocket, not suitable for pellets at least.

    When young and foolish (only foolish now) and needing rapid re-load, used to carry three or four between the lips.
    Common practice in Victorian days. Very effective, didn't taste too good though and hindered polite conversation

    Not needed for me anymore - just sit in a Bath Chair and gently pick from a tin but if this kind of thing is good enough for snipers and was frequently attached to rifles in Ye Olde West and similar then I'm surprised that somebody isn't marketing them for airguns.
    The possibilities are endless.

    Sensible question by OP.

    Same here.

    in the late 90's my pal lent me his short Titan (precursor to the fn12) single shot, it was equipped with a spring clip that held a 2nd pellet on the breach for a quick followup shot, pull the bolt back and in the pellet goes. Just a case of re cocking then. Really good for shooting close range out of the passenger window on farm tracks and that was enough to convince me, next gun was a 10 shot PCP.

    I do keep the bullets in a bolle safety glasses bag but tip some into the pocket.

    Pellets are normally just loose in the pocket.

    Never had dented skirts in mine. Maybe because it's my chest pocket on my army jacket.

    Plus a tin bouncing about in your pocket does not dent skirts? Not every one uses a holder like yours or the others out there.

    How does the skirts hold up to brushing them while out in the open on pellet holders?

    A "semi professional" version of the Jackal dispenser along with one of the originals from back in the day. Made a few of different sizes, found them ideal for use in HFT, ball bearing detente so it clicks round and a "blank" hole so you can mount it to the rifle and not lose any.

    Can't attach a pic hows it done, they are on photobucket????
