How do you fill a powder horn? Do you have to fill through the small outlet hole?

Yes....If it has a brass plunge valve, I unscrew that first...Center_shot said:How do you fill a powder horn? Do you have to fill through the small outlet hole?
I force a cheap plastic funnel over the spout (outside diameter) and pour. I also made a small copper funnel (lives in the gun bag) that fits the spout hole.Center_shot said:How do you fill a powder horn? Do you have to fill through the small outlet hole?

I with you Ames, using your own hand is quick and easy. Being on the sloppy side I never do it inside somewhere where powder spill is a problem. I do have a nice brass funnel that fits right inside the powder horn outlet. My outlet is plugged with a fiddle/violin string peg. Having one funnel and two hands gives me three options. :rotf:
