ABSTRACT:
A device for facilitating the loading of muzzle loading firearms comprises a compact housing having inner and outer concentric hollow cylinders in it. The bottom ends of the cylinders are closed by a slide member which may be selectively moved to a position to open the bottom ends of both cylinders. With the bottom end closed, a measured charge of powder is poured into the outer cylinder. A bullet or ball (with patch, if necessary) is placed in the inner cylinder. A removable cap, having a hole through it which is concentric with the upper opening of the inner cylinder, is placed over the housing to close off the top of the outer cylinder. A ramrod is inserted through the opening in the cap to extend into the inner cylinder and is depressed to place the ball above the movable slide loaded at the bottom. The device subsequently is placed over the end of the barrel of a gun, the slide member is moved to open the bottoms of the cylinders to permit the powder to drop into the barrel. The ramrod then is pushed downwardly to seat the ball in the barrel of the gun or rifle, rapidly loading it.
