Hey y’all,
I finally clearly hit the black!
My 21st shot!
I’m gonna keep making it my first shot of the day until I can’t miss it.

Hey Salty, neat hearing you were using a drop tube to load with.

I used to make a lot of those for BPCR shooters to load their brass with, but never did make one for muzzleloaders, although we did offer them in our catalog. 

Wish I still had a metal lathe, I would probably still make some.  Just thinking it would be fun to see if I could turn the tip of the tube into the funnel top instead of soldering a brass funnel onto it?

I used some copper refrigeration tubing and attached a small brass funnel with epoxy. I think it helps.
