Abstract
Abstract The invention is a projectile holding sleeve that is open at both ends and mounted on the body of a container having a chamber for containing a propellant powder charge and a closure lid having a capholder for holding a percussion cap. The sleeve, being open at both ends allows a bullet starter or ramrod to pass through for rapid transferral of the projectile from the sleeve to the bore of a muzzleloading firearm.
