Abstract
The invention is that of a tubular shield for protecting the lubricant on a pre-lubricated projectile from contamination and loss of lubricant while the projectile is held ready for use in a muzzle-loading firearm. The pre-lubricated projectile is inserted into the shield device, the walls of which fit tightly against the surface of the projectile, and the lubricant which is in the grooves of the projectile is sealed in preventing migration of the lubricant. The projectile is pushed directly from the shield into the bore of a firearm by use of a ramrod which is inserted into one end of the shield. A split socket for holding a fresh percussion cap is mounted on the shield for quick use after the firearm has been charged with powder and the projectile has been seated in the bore of the barrel.
