This invention is a pocket sized, block shaped device for storing the powder, projectiles and trouble shooting tools necessary for the rapid loading of the flintlock type, muzzle loading firearms, when used in the field. The device permits the user to premeasure a plurality of gunpowder charges into cavities bored into the body of the device, for later successive release by means of a novel sliding release mechanism. A dispenser for priming powder is frictionally housed within the body of the device for easy access and use. In addition, the user can insert a plurality of patched projectiles into sleeves bored into the device for successive release, later, when needed in the field. The device also houses an array of tools needed for maintenance of the gun and trouble shooting under field conditions.
