Muzzle loaders- what's in your possible bag?

Hoyt, that is some nice plunder you have there.

Beautiful stuff, Hoyt. Could you tell us abut the rifle?

Amen Brother. Very nice plunder.

I promised pics so here's what I've got put together for my in-line setup.

1. Here's the front stuffer. A CVA .50Cal Hunter Bolt Magnum

2. Here's the kit

3. My bullet choices

4. Bullet starter and rod handle with jag and adapter

5. The VariFlame Kit (209 adapters loaded w/ CCI 400 Small Rifle primers kept in the film bottle and extra primers in the SD mem card holder w/ a desiccant)

Anyone else care want to show their setup?

I've only used this set-up one season and I'm still new to muzzleloading but here is what I go with:




Guns: .50 caplock Hawken Carbine & .44 Colt 1860 Army

I load the revolver with 5 'rounds', leaving the sixth cylinder empty for the hammer to rest on. The only thing I carry extra for this this is some #10 caps in a small plastic bottle. So, I've got basically no way to reload it. It's only for backup and 5 shots from it are more than enough for a day's hunt.


For the Hawken I carry 6 "speed loaders" loaded with 80grains of GOEX black powder, one Hornady Great Plains Bullet each. They also have a place to hold a cap. So basically, 6 reloads. I also carry a bullet starter. All in a small camera bag.
