Title: Powder flask spouts
Post by: mike116 on March 03, 2024, 05:12:07 PM

I have intended to do this for several years.   I actually made good on my intentions the other day and made several calibrated powder spouts for my loading flasks.   Each one holds a weighed amount of 3F Black Powder in amounts I use frequently in guns I shoot.   I used a little diamond point engraving tool to mark each one and filled the marking in with Sharpie marker then wiped off the excess.  This should make loading quicker and more accurate than using a separate adjustable powder measure.

I like it! That's gotta make range loading a whole lot easier than using an adjustable measure like I do.
