  • Patent number: 7451563
    Abstract: A molded plastic device which contains all the components that are necessary to perform the multiple steps required in loading a percussion in-line muzzle loading rifle in the field. Incorporated in this device are provisions for carrying multiple powder charges along with a bullet/projectile for each. The device also contains several different means of igniting said powder charges. By the use of different magazines, each of which contain a different form of ignition, the device can be used with several types and styles of muzzle loading rifles which may require different methods of discharging the bullet/projectile. The device also contains a bullet/projectile starter which is used to start the bullet/projectile down the barrel a few inches prior to seating the bullet/projectile with a ram rod. The device is carried on a neck strap which makes it easily accessible when loading in the field.
