Going to make 2 or 3 little antler powder measures once my calibrated one shows up. Fun little project.

I drilled holes in mine so that I could hang it around my neck. Works great for Mountain men.

They take the powder pretty good, and are easy to use. Level it off, same load every time.

I have a real nice brass calibrated powder measure but I like the look and feel of the antler.
