Shot and powder bag in one???
« on: February 25, 2010, 05:55:41 AM »
I am sure I remember seeing a shot and powder double bag assembly. Problem is I can't find it now.

Help. Was I just seeing things?

Just another voice in the crowd!!!

Maybe it was for sale in the ML classifieds?

I sold this old powder/shot snake a while back...

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

Being an absent minded old fart I think I'd have trouble remembering which is which and would be constantly tripping the wrong trigger. ;D

Actually the double snakes hang better if you put the shot in the bottom bag and the powder on top.   It doesn't take long to instictively go to them in the right order when loading.

My other setup is a shot snake and either a powder horn of belt powder flask (not as convenient to use as the double snake as either for powder means a separate measure to deal with).
