ABSTRACT:
A device for loading black powder, a projectile, and optional components into the muzzle of a muzzle loading firearm. The device includes an elongated tubular cartridge for holding the components to be loaded; a cartridge receiving housing for placement of the cartridge relative to the muzzle; and a plunger for insertion of the components into the muzzle. The cartridge has a central bore, substantially equal in diameter to the bore of the firearm, and preferably is transparent for viewing of the components therein. A crimp or frangible membrane serves to close one end of the cartridge and the projectile closes the opposing end. The cartridge housing includes a slotted portion for receiving and holding the cartridge and is provided with end apertures, aligned with the base of the cartridge for reciprocally receiving the plunger. The housing preferably includes a jacket for fitting over the end of the muzzle for perfecting alignment of the muzzle and cartridge bores.
