Default RE: Shot my 50 again today.

Like Triple Se7en I use an Altoids Candy tin. I also carry an OFF Pump Insect Repellent Spray bottle. In the pump spray bottle I have my swabbing mixture. If I am hunting with a #11 cap it is straight isopropyl alcohol. If I am hunting with 209 primers then it is a 50/50 mix of alcohol and car windshield washer fluid. In the Altoids tin, I have the bottom lined with pre-sized patches (I use bulk patch material and end up cutting my own most the time). Then, I take the projectiels I am hunting with and I wrap each projectile in a patch and lay them in the lined tin. Then I pack more patches around the projectiles. This way the projectiles do not bump into each other, and they are nice and quiet. Now I have quiet safe projectiles, plenty of patches for swabbing rifles and spray for cleaning glasses and scopelens. All of this and my powder charges all fit into my fanny pack/hand warmer.
