Lets see those range boxes!
Hey Ya'll,
Lets see your range box and how you have it organized. I need some ideas. When I go to the range I have everything stuffed in a bag, and its kinda aggravating digging through it. Post up what you use. Things that will work. I was thinking about a tackle box, but I don't see many that a pound bottle of powder will fit in. I want something big enough to put ALL my supplies for all my BP guns, that way I don't have to keep swapping stuff out when I take different calibers to the range!

I'm new to this with only 2 revolvers and I use a small tackle box. Going to get one for each gun (36 & 44 cals), though. When I go out I just fill my small powder flask, it fits fine in the box. Just need to ensure the button can't be activated. Made a little divider gizmo to secure it. That's usually enough powder for the amount of shooting I do, and the speed at which I shoot.

Yeah I have the round brass flask with a spout, but wasn't sure if I just took that how long it would last. I know I've emptied it before shooting the rifle. A small tackle box would be handier I think. Maybe I'll just get a couple more flasks. Rather than toting it ALL every time I go.

A BIG plastic tool box you can buy at W-M or the hardware stores works great for me. I've been using a mid-sized one for years. I don't keep everything in there but I drag around enough supplies to get me through a range day and cleaning.
You might want something similar to this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-Mo...enter/14146142 My range box is more like this one: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stack-On-2...ellow/14958219 Last edited by Logan5579; January 15, 2013 at 02:44 PM. Reason: Doc, I am jealous. Your RB is so....organized |

Powder measure
I love these Treso and CVA measures but I found I need to be able to more consistently charge the cylinder.
So I came up with a telescoping attachment for the CVA1400 and Treso Brass Flask. ![]() Made a fitting from an old spout. The tube is clear lucite. I drilled the fitting to accept the tube and then epoxied the tube into the fitting. ![]() My early design had the graduations on the tube but they wore off to quick so I marked the plunger on later versions. This one is not marked yet, but you get the idea. ![]() Diameter of the tube easily works to fill a .31 caliber revolver or larger. It also works well with charging cartridges for BPCR.

Nothing wrong with that Logan, I'll have to look for a box like that when I'm out and about. Its functional and holds everything you need. I may just build a little stand to put my cylinder press on instead of building or buying a box that would support it. Thanks for sharing. When I go to the range now it looks like a bomb went off at my shooting bench, I'll have crap EVERYWHERE

I have to straighten mine out before I dare shoot a pic of it, lol! I tend to try and stuff everything into it, and end up taking along a backpack with extra stuff as well. Of course, I like to take around 6 different pistols of varying calibers with me every time I shoot, so I do tend to lug around a bunch of stuff, lol!

Awesome, that is the EXACT same kind of tool box I used to carry around the flightline at Travis AFB, when I first joined the airforce. That old tool box and I shared alot of hours turning wrenches on old F.R.E.D <<<< the C-5 Galaxy's nick name (Freakin Ridiculous Economical Disaster) You can replace the first word with a more foul one as most do.
