As I wait for my NSW chiefs gun to show up in a few months I am pondering a good way to carry shot. Don't really care to invest in a shot snake or flask. For bird shot I figure just to carry it in a sack of some sort and pour some into my hand and kinda eyeball it. #4 Buck should need to be counted I guess, and was wondering if there was a good way to manage it.
My only other concern is the lack of wasp nests for wadding around here, I guess due to the drought we have had.
I will have more questions about shooting round ball in a day or two. Just trying to get some things in order, it will be better when I get the gun and can actually experiment and not deal in theory.

Cody- I've got a couple of small leather bags, maybe one for birdshot and one for buck. No need to carry to much around here due to the lack of worthy targets.
An old friend of mine from Bastrop Co. put me on to the wasp nest idea. He used to to to go to somewhere in Louisiana to dress up like a frenchman and do reenactments I guess.
I have some old sheds and a barn that should have some old wasp nests, just need to wait until it gets cooler. By the way you really haven't lived until you get stung inside the left nostril by a red wasp.

You have to be talking about Bob N.
How is he doing... I haven't talked to him in quite a time...
I have one of his finger woven twined bags and I made that french powder horn that he uses....
One day if I get back down to Texas, he and I are going squirrel hunting over on the Llano river, both of our old running ground...

Lloyd- that probably be him. He is well. Retired from his job. Gunsmithing part time in Austin. He was into WWII reenacting as a frenchman of course. I think he has mosty quit the old stuff. I've known him for 40 years now. He shot his first deer on my place with a cobbled up Mauser. Him and his wife S. was with me when I shot a turkey with a .36 Penn. gun. He ran around with Lony and Otter and Bill S. as I remember.
One crazy but lovable SOB.
Sound like the right guy?

I talk to Bob often. He's came here to my place a couple times for an encampment. Love his impression of Walter Brennen.
