I am a complete beginner when it comes to muzzleloading and I could use your help. I bought a nice October Country powder horn but I can't get the powder to come out in more than a trickle. The FFG powder is dry and clump free but just won't flow smoothly. I thought about trying to polish the inside of the spout but I'm not certain that would help. Then I read a thread here about using a mustard bottle for the range. I went out and bought a Gulden's mustard bottle and cleaned it up nicely. However, I'm experiencing the same problem. The powder won't flow through the opening. I tried enlarging the opening but that didn't help much. It took literally two minutes of shaking the bottle and trickling out a few grains to fill up the powder measure. What am I missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated by this greenhorn. Thanks.
