...... I simply made two powder measures that hung around my neck with a loading block. I remember an article in Muzzle Blasts some years ago about half loads.
I remember that article as well, and I think that I read it in Muzzleloader Magazine...I believe it was written by Mike Nesbitt.
And I think he also had that article published in an issue of the Blackpowder Aunnual, a Dixie Gunworks publication.
