Percussion shotgun questions...
Those of you who use one in the field. How do you carry your shot, powder, etc. especially when walking while gong after birds, rabbits? Do you guys have a shot pouch, and if so doesn’t it tend to bounce around as you move/chase game? Didn’t want to reinvent the wheel so I thought I’d pose the question. What works best for you in the field scenario. I’ll be going after quail, dove and small game hours in the field away from the vehicle/home on foot.

carry
I carry my pouch, shot and horn up high and tight with the straps adjusted so they are between the hip and armpit.

I carry premeasured powder in plastic bags. Just bite a corner off and pour the powder down. Shot, I keep in premeasured paper tubes. Again, bite the end off and pour the shot in. Over powder wads and over shot cards are carried in the little pocket in my jeans. Primers are in that pocket also. Shot and powder are carried in front pants pockets.

Manny, I carry shot in a hard leather "ball bag" that has a measuring spout attached to it. You can get the spout at Track of the Wolf - there are English & Irish styles, I believe. I have the English.
This container has a strap attached to the bottom of it so that I can sling it over my shoulder and reload easily. Yes it bounces around some, it could easily be carried in my side pouch, also slung over my shoulder, along with the powder flask & wads. I don't suppose there's any rule on how it should be done, most of us find our own way and do whatever works for us. Me....that changes from time to time. |
