1Fg powder flask

[Blackpowderart]

I found 1Fg worked best in my shot gun, but the powder flask I have will not drop a charge with the larger granules. Does anyone know of one that will? I'm currently using Schuetzen Fg. I know a powder horn will work but im really looking for a brass or something similar that would fit in a possible bag or hip pouch. Thanks in advance

I use a Zouave style powder flask and it drops 1F just fine.

I have the same issue, I use 1F in some of my revolvers and the large grains jam up in the spout

I use a Treso "half pint" flask and a fat 30gr spout and just vigorously "snap" it when dropping a charge and it works to fill the spout

I love my T/C U-View for 1F but the nozzle doesn't hold enough

I have a Zouave flask. I'll have to try it with the 1F

I like a flask like this one offered by Midway USA. It will fill the attached measure and 1Fg will flow through the valve.

That's the one I have and schuetzen 1f will basically not drop a grain through it

U don't like the look of the zouave

Go for an original flask by Dixon or Hawksley they come in different sizes with different spout sizes

I have an original flask that was made for shotguns. The Dram adjustments on the spout are classic 12 ga loads. Usable original flasks are not very expensive. Luckily mine was a family hand down. This looks like mine.

I'll second the recommendation for a Hawksley flask. The ones I typically see are graduated in 1/4 to 1/2 drams (a dram = 27 3/4 grains). For example a flask with a range of 2 1/2, 2 3/4, 3, 3 1/4 drams would dispense 70 gr, 76 gr, 83 gr, or 90 gr. I've yet to encounter one that won't dispense Fg without problems.
