USE THEM FOR PRE-WEIGHED POWDER CHARGES FOR YOUR PERCUSSION GUNS!

The charges will be weighed, put in the 30-30 cases and capped with a rubber eraser.

Ready for the Range.

The 30-30 case will hold 40 gr. of FFFg. If you are shooting a Dragoon or a Walker and need a larger charge you can use 308 or 30-06 cases.

I used this method when I was hunting with a percussion pistol years ago. My Dad was the one who showed me. He used this method for his 1858 Remingtons.
