Keeping busy

My take on an all in one block for my .54
 A short short starter, cap holder, 3 powder tubes and balls.
 Just a prototype but it's a start.

I was thinking more of a pocket block but you may be right.

I just wonder how small one could make them and it still be an "all in one".
Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.

Probably not much smaller than this .
 Around 4" x 2.5"   unless you had smaller balls. Ha
 The dimensions are driven by the ammo.
