Abstract
A muzzle-loading device for carrying materials for muzzle-loading firearms includes a tubular body with one end adapted to hold a projectile and radially extending ears for holding percussion caps, an elongate container for holding powder having a closed end extending within the tubular body and graduations therealong for indicating the amount of powder in the container, and a cover extending over an open end of the container and removably secured to an end of the tubular body opposite the end holding the projectile to seal the open end of the container and hold the container in the body. The tubular body, the elongate container and the cover are preferably constructed of a resilient, transparent plastic material to permit viewing of the materials carried by the muzzle-loading device, and the elongate container has a bottom portion of reduced diameter adapted to be pushed through the tubular body to force the projectile into the muzzle of a firearm.
