I keep one in my car for laundry and to feed parking meters. We also used them to build alka seltzer rockets in camp this past summer…a lot of fun. I found a bunch online at http://www.filmcanisterrockets.com

also for mini first aid kits/matches

I use it so the flashlight does not reflect light. When I am ready to use the light, I just flip it off.

Mostly 80 gr. FF with a 50 cal. Put strip of tape on the lid to identify the load. Those I don’t shoot this year, go in my metal black powder box till next year.

Use some elastic cord between two cans(rubber bands tends to fall apart; what I’m talking about can be purchased at Marshall’s or JoAnn Fabrics), shape to fit it’s easy to fit or remove once you get to the line.
