Over the years, I’ve usually just used a ’smash box’, or one of Patricks fine snuff boxes, and ‘pinched’ my ration of snuff. Although this can be messy at times, I never thought to try a bullet.
The past week or so, I’ve been using one of the CNC machined bullets that I carry on the site. I have to say, these are VERY nice! No fuss! No mess, and very easy to use. I was on a boat over the weekend in Miami for the 4th, and using a bullet was the most convenient way to carry my snuff. Definitely not effected by the wind like a box would have been. I found them to be very inconspicuous as well. I was not uncomfortable using one of these in any environment.
The only drawback, and this was minor, was the portion size. I found I needed to use 2 hits to get the correct dosage. Your mileage may vary depending on your usage. Bullet holds just a hair over 1 gram. Moist snuff may cause problems. 99% of my snuff usage is American dry snuff, so I have no experience using a bullet with the more moist types.
