A small container made of brass with a lead stopper in the top....

Have been thinking on how to get a reloading set up mounted to the tow ball, its a 4hr round trip for me to go to the range over winter so never end up going. Would be nice to be able to take a press scale etc in the vehicle but dont see the benefits of taking a press when out in the bush

Only reason I'm considering taking a press into the bush is that I'd like to carry a few hundred rounds, but I'm not keen on carrying the same quantity of brass (dead weight). I'd rather carry 20 pieces of brass and just reload them.

I'm considering buying some 4 gram capacity sugar sachets - the ones you get at cafes with your morning coffee. I could fill them up with pre-measured powder, then seal them shut. Because they're stiff and slender, it should make pouring powder into cases a breeze (especially if I take a small plastic funnel).

The paper sachets can then be burned/used as fire starters.

Just one idea.
