Started a project coupla days ago.. Saw a tutorial on a muzzle loading forum.. My twist to it..
1. Cut 2 squares of veg tan 6 x6  7-8oz
2. did layout round part was 4'' circle.. Stem 1 1/4'' and rounded the meeting place due to I'm using a 3/4'' plug
3. glued and stuck together
4. Stiched the parts together.. I went double because I thought it would be stronger
5. Heated sand to 275F
6. Soaked leather for about 1/2 hour
7. Filled bag with hot sand and packed till full.. Only leaving enough room that my 3/4'' dowel would go in about a 1 1/2''
    NOTE - Use a 1/2'' dowel to pack the sand as you can move it around easier.. Also it helps to have a extra pair of hands for the funnel and filling of the sand..  Thanks Dan
8. Dry and trim
Comments are always welcome
Thanks Leroy
