Default How to carry precut patches?

All last summer I was practicing on the range using a patched roundball in my ML. Then a few weeks before deer season, I switched to a Powerbelt like I have used other years and sighted in. I got a deer with the Powerbelt with an easy shot at 48 yards. So this year I'm comfortable enough using a patched roundball to use it for deer season. My question is, how do you carry a precut, prelubed patch and get at it "quickly" to reload?

Right now I carry 5 speedloaders that have a partition in the middle; the loose powder goes on one side, the projectile on the other. It was very easy with the Powerbelt, but a roundball with a patch is another story. The patch is not going to stay put in the speedloaders I use.

If it matters, the ML is a .50 cal. Pedersoli Frontier caplock, traditional, with open sights.
