We are digressing from the original thread a little bit but since you have described the three ways of loading muzzle loaders, I thought it of interest to post pics of the three.
One is the flask at the subject of this thread.
Then we have the Talahiq primer flask, worn as you say around the neck and attached by a silver chain and leather strap.
Also the pre measured charges of powder contained in wooden/bamboo tubes, and held in a bandolier/belt.
Pics of the three attached below.
