I have a couple RCBS. But I also like to use those plastic trays that come with handgun ammo. 50 holes and they take up less space on the bench. Plus, they're free!

I also made a couple blocks to fit the short mag cases.

These miniature "bread board" shaped accoutrement's are made from hard wood, drilled to hold lubricated patched round balls. Before hunting, grease your patch, center it over a hole, and press the ball into the patch and force it into the hole, using a short starter. Push it until the ball protrudes below. This protruding bulge can be quickly centered on the muzzle, and the patched ball rammed home with the starter.
 
l I would think the drawback would be the lubed patches can pick up grit and dirt from your possibles bag. On target trails also any water based lubes would dry out fairly quickly except in Port Alberni where they would be come wetter about 1/2 the time. :>) :>)

I tried them when I first started hunting with a muzzleloader but quickly found that they were just one more thing to hang up in the bush.

They are kinda handy at the range though.
