Powder Measures.

[Adam Helmer]

Adjustable powder measures are fine at the bench, but I prefer fixed measures that are consistent for field use. I found a .444 Marlin cartridge case holds about 70 grains of 2F Goex. I picked up a half dozen cases at the range, polished them with Brasso and put one in each possibles bag and tethered one to each of my 3 powder horns.

I use a .44 Special brass cartridge case that now drops 25 grains of 3F for my .44 Remington C&B revolver. The brass cases are easy to file down to get the desired charge.

Great suggestion, Adam....I'm not sure how you tethered it to your horn, but you can punch out the primer and put in an eye screw and a little epoxy and that will make a convenient 'hole' to attach to a leather thong.
I made a couple of powder measures out of some old deer antlers....drilled them out and then filed away at the edges until it held the amount of powder I wanted. Then drilled a small hole in the other end for a leather thong to tie to my powder horn/possibles bag. Next, I filed a flat spot on the horn, then engraved the charge on it, and covered it with India ink.
Currently working on some wooden shot measures (amongst other things).;)

Mr. 16 gauge,

I used a thin leather lace and tied it around the head of the case and tied the other end around the spout of the powder horn. The polished brass looks nice on the powder horns and the measure is handy to measure powder.

I use plastic vacutainer tubes with rubber stoppers to hold pre-measured charges of blackpowder. Then I write the powder charge weight on the tube. These tubes are cheap or free and can be reused many times. All the best...
