The cap holders in the beaver tail is incredibly  clever , Fyrstyk ! !!
I'll  have to "borrow  " the idea.
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

Great idea for sure, and yes,,, I will also borrow that idea as well. It will eliminate one of the dangling leathers from my bag strap... Thanks!!!  :hairy

The beaver ball block also has a built in powder measure, so it eliminates another "dangly" from my pouch strap.
