Antler Powder Measure
Since I can't sleep... I finished what I can for now on my antler powder measure, looking as frontier traditional as possible... I like the bead, bone on the sinew as well. The opening is pointed down, so if their is rain/snow it can't foul the inside with moisture. I was thinking about something other than brass, and decided to use a shed that I found one year. Bored it using a 5/8ths Spade Drill Bit, have my line marked inside of it for my 90 gr charge.
I used the bead and elk teeth from something I had and the cord had broke after all these years, replacing the cord with sinew. I've been out this past season with medical issues, and will be at my first club shoot with the Flathead Valley Muzzleloaders this next Saturday. My powder horn is good to go, and will be looking forward to this shoot.

I haven't figured out how it works yet, but it looks cool!

The opening is facing down, keeps the moisture out of it in bad weather. I drew the line inside, where 90gr of BP come to.

OK, now that makes sense. That is a unique piece J_B!
