    I shoot a lot of old milsurps with surplus ammo with corrosive primers. I have broken shell extractors, Windex, sight pushers,screwdrivers, and Allen wrenches. Windex is used to flush out the chamber and bolt face from the corrosive salts from the old ammo before I get them home and give it a much more thorough cleaning.

    I might suggest a a few pairs of disposable gloves to go in with the cleaning stuff. Keeps the lead residue off your hands.

    Just to add a small bottle of sunscreen and bug spray the travel sizes work well for this and has come in handy.

    Keep your boo boo band aid kit separate from your trama kit guys!

    I shoot a lot of old milsurp rifles, some with what you might call "generous" chambers. Sometimes I get case head separations, so my bag has many broke case extractors. I have a Lee Enfield .303 Brit that shoots very well, but regularly saws S&B cases in half when I shoot them. So far it has only been S&B cases that do it. So I have tools for 7.62X54R, 8mm Mauser, .303 Brit, 7.62X39, .270, and 30.06. I also keep a spotting scope and tripod in it. And Allen wrench set, and a few assorted screwdrivers in case any actions/scopes work loose. Targets and stapler in the bag. Another bag has all the ammo I will be shooting, spare mags/charger clips, etc.

    I use a 3 wheel shooting cart and have most of the same items you guys carry. Use when I have to walk far from car with heavy rifles and or black powder accessories.
