shotgun cartridge containers

[mereside]

being handy i have tried to make most things rather than buying . i have made a few knifes, cookers which i will be posting but for now here's a few containers that are easy to make for salt ,pepper and the likes they are waterproof and i have done the ones at the back for charcloth . I have been looking at scaling down my kit as i will be going off in august for a week in a scottish forrest ,atb wayne

thanks for the comments i cant see the lead being an issue as the shot goes into a wad not the case but you can get steel or bismuth cases if its an issue or buy new cases. i reload all my rifles and shotguns so cases are abundant for me. and if anyone wants to make them nip down to your local clay shooting ground they will give you hundreds of cases free of charge most of the clubs use gamebore super steel loads, atb wayne
corso you posted while i was typing thats a neat idea if you want long brass find a clayshoot close by it will be free. if not give me a pm and i can send you some,atb wayne

Fair enough for the steel, bsmuth, and new cases. But regarding used lead cases, even though the shot is in a sleeve, it still rattles around and lead dust settles about in the case.
