Default a couple of tips or pointers to share maybe you have some as well!!!

-I like to keep several extra primers handy and have found that they will fit very nicely in the small little triangles of the recoil pad of my encore
-I shoot polymer tipped bullets and made a brass bullet starter that screws to my ramrod I countersunk the end of it so that it will not deform the bullet. It is threaded so that I can also attach a cleaning jag to it without taking it off. It will also fit down the ramrod rings of my barrel and locks in nicely I then keep a spring loaded flip up t-handle attached to the muzzle end of the rod.
-My sling is made of an elastic type material and I have found that I can keep several dry patches and a short cleaning jag tucked between the two layers of elastic this eliminates fumbling through my possibles bag for the two things I need most before a reload.
These may all be things you all have already discovered or that you find to be useless but I thought I would share. Hopefully everyone else has something to add it might make for a very informative thread

Thanks for sharing. I keep my powder, pellets and sabot in a small ziplock in a cigarett sized water proof case like the kind you take rafting around my neck and it opens easy and acts like a little shelf on my chest while reloading. Primers seperate in my right vest pocket. I gut it out and reload with a bare ramrod that leaves a nice dent in the palm of my hand.
