Default Ball Bottles

Here's a handy item for you round ball shooters.

Lots of vitamins and health supplements come in neat little flip top plastic bottles. They fit real well in a shooting bag or box and are great for storing your round balls. With one of thes on the shooting bench all you have to do is flip open the top and easily pour a single ball into your hand.

If you don't use any products like this, check with your friends and family. Someone is bound to be throwing these great little items away. (Hint: WD-40 takes the sticky labels right off.)

This size holds fifty .575 balls.

I use the same thing expect my bottles are McCormick Bac'n Pieces. The bottle has a red top and that means .50 caliber. My Osteo Bi-flex bottle has a blue top and that means .54 caliber.

That Osteo BioFlex is good stuff...My hands get sore after skinning 3-4 deer, taking that sruff sure has helped...

I use CCI .22 containers for balls in my shooting box and a leather bag and ball block in my shooting bag...

Semi - I am definately beginning to wonder about you. First you tumble your balls to make them nice and smooth, then look for things to neatly contain them. Then you ask your neighbor if she has any used panty hose laying around....
You're starting to scare the h*ll out of me.

Aw bronko, no need to be scared. I'm harmless. Very few of my neighbors duck into their house when I go outside.

I'm going to regret this, but....what are the pantyhose used for? "Patching" material?
