Shot/powder flasks

[Turnup]

These days I use pre-loaded phials which fit nicely in an MTM cartridge box. When I did use flasks I just put them (empty) in my shooting box. It is not advised to leave powder sitting in flasks and anyway they tend to leak.

I have observed shot flasks carried on a lanyard around their necks.

Wow 71 views and it looks as if we are the only two muzzle loaders,

I used to get 35mm film containers free from photo developers which were handy for pre-measured powder and shot + wads, though I guess they don’t develop many films these days....
I also have a shot flask. If using a powder flask I never pour straight into the barrel, I decant it into a brass adjustable measure first , then put it in the barrel. Unfortunately I don’t shoot M/L shotgun as much as I once did. If you’re after anything let me know - I have loads of shot, wads, and the odd measure and gun....

I pre measure powder into centrifuge phials and store them in an MTM ammo box (.357),ball is stored in a leather bag but my pistol is a .44 pietta so I can't imagine putting many of those into a shot flask.

Hope you are enjoying shooting powder, I have been doing it about 7 years now and thoroughly enjoy it.

Yep just has something about it! Not for cold weather though.

I used these quite successfully. Glass phials. I’ve given up shooting so selling up.

Loading directly from a powder flask is forbidden at the club I use, so I too dispense powder from a Pedersoli plastic phial set.
