  • Patent number: 4550517
    Abstract: My invention provides a fully-loaded device which is carried by a sportsman in an easily-accessible position for quick reloading of a muzzle-loading rifle. The device comprises a cylinder rotatably carried by a base member, the cylinder having a plurality of elongated openings which are open all the way through the same, and one elongated opening that is closed at its bottom end. The base has an upper flat surface which mates with a lower flat surface of the cylinder, and an off-center opening adapted to be aligned with any one of the elongated openings. The base also has a side opening so that the end of the rifle barrel may be inserted for alignment with the off-center opening. The fully open elongated openings are each adapted to contain black powder, a patch and a ball, while the bottom-closed elongated opening may be used for the storage of tools or the like, or for the storage of flashpan powder in the event the rifle is of the flintlock type.
