ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for forming a charge for a muzzle-loading gun and including a predetermined amount of powder and a bullet at least partially embraced within a patch. After the charge is formed, it may be retained in readiness for quick insertion into the muzzle end of the barrel of a muzzle-loader. The tool includes a tubular body defining a first bore extending longitudinally therethrough and having a diametrically enlarged counterbore opening outwardly of one end of the body. The interior of the body defines a shoulder at the inner end of the counter bore and a sleeve has one end thereof loosely removably telescoped into the counterbore and defines a second bore extending therethrough of substantially the same diameter as the bore formed through the body. The second bore is of a diameter to snugly and slidably receive a bullet of a predetermined size therein at least partially embraced within a patch and the outside diameter of the sleeve is smaller than the diameter of the counterbore of the body by an amount enabling a thin, frangible and flexible disk of a larger plan area than the counterbore to extend across the end of the sleeve telescoped into the counterbore with the peripheral portions of the disk clamped between the outer surfaces of the sleeve and the opposing surfaces of the counterbore adjacent the inner end thereof.
