This is the first incarnation of the shot bag, I've seen different sizes, but something along this line seems to be the most common:

Mine roughly hold about 120 grain. As long as I don't need more than that - I just pre-measure what I do need a head of time to stow the powder. Basically I would just be using them as glorified charge cups - not as actual powder measures.

I can't wait for mine. I had Sutlerjon make them with a shorter drill depth for 80 grains so I don't have to measure separately. Enough to prime and powder the gun.

the rings slide to the bottom of the line and keep the appostles from slamming around(well reduce the slamming) and wandering as you move. I'm not sure about P.C. but they are darned sure practical.

I believe it is to keep them from tangling up when they swing. It prevents one from swinging around the other to some degree since the rings connect lines between two apostles.

As near as I can tell those last 2 answers are correct, as I handle them during assembly and packing and unpacking they don't seem to want to tangle at all. Also, and most importantly (for me anyway) all the pics I saw from across the pond seemed to have them on them. In particular the pics of English CW reenactors, they seem quite common to their rigs.
