Goex lid with built in funnel--for NEW plastic cans

[MIOutdoorsman]

Forgive me if this topic has been addressed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it with keyword searches that made sense to me, so I'll start a new thread.

If you've purchased Goex recently, you know that they changed their "cans" of powder to plastic, with a different size lid. I'm new to BP shooting, so I'm not sure when this change took effect, but the gun shop that I bought from said that this is their "new" can.

The old Goex can had a different lid size, and it was possible to buy a brass lid that would screw on, and this lid had a built in funnel (more of a tube) that would make it easy to pour powder into a measuring device. I have not been able to locate something like this for the "new" Goex plastic cans of powder. I've checked Track of the Wolf, Amazon, and a generic web search with no luck.

Anyone know of a source for lids like this for the latest rendition of the Goex plastic powder cans?

Thanks!

Why don't you just take an old plastic cap for the new Goex cans and make one yourself? It can't be too hard.

What Col.B. said.

For the earlier cans I silver-soldered a .223 Rem case around a hole in a steel cap and used a 7.62 x 39 case with the neck trimmed off as a cap.

For the new cans maybe you can come up with a similar design by epoxying or hot-melt gluing around the base of a tube.

Or, get a funnel and use a horn for the transport vessel.

New spout is available at www.rmcoxyoke.com/. Only about 6 bucks. Other neat items there also.

Wow guys-plenty of options if you get creative. Thanks! (Now I'm slightly embarrassed that I hadn't thought of some of these build-your-own solutions!)

Using a funnel ..... I just pour from the new plastic bottle into my old can that I'd made a spout for 30 years ago.

The new axle lube quart cans (plastic) by motorcraft seem to have the same lid, they have a spout lid, maybe stop by your ford dealer and ask one of the techs for one, be sure to tell them what you are using it for, most techs have an interest in guns and would probably be happy to help yu out. flinch

Yep, what he said ^^^. :hmm: Recycle those old cans...

 

[Tom Compton]

Still using an old metal can myself. Spout is a cutoff .30-30 hip and cap is a .41 Mag hull.

I went to dollar general and bought what they call a condiment dispenser
the cap fits perfect on plastic goex bottles

 

[BJHabermehl]

I’ve been useing condiment dispensers to fill powder horns and priming gizzies for probably 20 years now. They are quite handy. And now another use for them.... BJH

You can also buy a new spout to fit the plastic Goex containers from DGW. Search for the product under "spout."

I like Semisane's spout creations. Good job. I want to mention that some plastics might present a static electricity hazard. Things like you find at the dollar store for condiments. I have heard that powder container plastics are a special type plastic made to reduce this hazard. I don't know for sure and I don't mean to start a plastics/electricity/bp discussion, this is just my 2¢ worth. Be safe.
