Always found the base of a shotgun shell a handy way to cart them around.
I was thinking the same thing- in a shotgun cartridge where they belong.
Now, if you asked me how I carry extra flints or #11 caps- loose in my shooting bag or in a capper, respectively. Musket caps, for when I unlimber a percussion musket, carry well in either an original or repro Civil War cap box on the belt. Would probably work well for 209's too.
Shooting bag= that which contains everything necessary to load/maintain the rifle in the field.
Possibles bag= a separate bag into which goes the rest of the junk one might "possibly" need for a day afield.
I never get into traditionalist vs modernists debates but I'm going to make an exception ... this one time.
All I need to carry in the field with a shotgun, CF rifle, or my modern inline is some extra "shells".
A speedloader with a primer, sabot/bullet, and a powder charge is an extra "shell". The ramrod is attached to my ML and that's all I need to load it.
I don't have the need to carry a whole bag full of possibles.
Well ... except for a sammich, something to drink, and TP.
I'm a minimalist modernist.
