That 40mpg is probably pretty nice up there where a gallon of gas is about as much as a good bottle of whiskey

Been working on simplifying my shooting bag stuff....I have a very nice, large buffalo bag that hold lots of stuff but it's big to pack around. I have this smaller simple elk bag from October Country that I have been using lately. Now the lead balls are just loose in the bag, my lubed patches are in a little snuff can, the ball starter I made myself, and the little deerskin pouch I put together to protect a small can of extra caps. The caps I use go in the "capper" I punched out and attached to my horn strap (an old saddle latigo) along with the powder measure I made. Very compact kit and easy to carry around in the field. I put the antler on the bag flap to help keep it down on windy days.

Trip yesterday to town, picked up more caps, powder and lead balls. The LGS had lots of ammo and primers of all sizes by the looks of it.

Put a mulehide wrap on my frontier rifle. Makes a good grip when sighting.
