How Do You Fill a Horn?

[SOLANCO]

I do not have any experience with using horns. I have collected a couple and viewed a few at shows, etc.
I think almost every one had the plug (large) end permanently attached. Some even with brads.
Fill them through the pour spout with a tiny funnel?!?!?

I fill mine with a small funnel.

I cut the rim off a .223 case and it fit tightly in my small funnel. Works perfectly.

When I have time I use the funnel. When I am without the funnel and outside I just encircle the horn end with my hand making a human funnel. Works good, just not as convenient .

Can make a funnel out of a sheet of paper.

They come prefilled and once they are empty, you use them for decoration or throw them away.

 

[Ames]

Yep. What Larry said. Wrap your hand around the tip and fill slowly.

Don’t throw them away, old horns can be recycled into combs, spoons, lamp panels, recycle your horns! They don’t grow on trees!!!!
I use a funnel to fill but have made paper funels and used hand as above

As said small brass funnel,piece of paper folded as a cone, cup your hand around the end, or next time your at the doctors ask for one of those little cones he or she looks in your ears with.

Small funnel. My horns has plugs in the rear.
I pour from the spout, refill from the rear.
The powder stays fresh.

The small funnel as shown above with a piece of brass pipe soldered in the hole about 2 inches long, that way you don't have to hold the funnel in place.

My small funnel was not small enough for some of my priming horns, so I liberated a couple of those black plastic things the my doctor uses to look in my ears and nose. My funnel fits them, and they fit my horn opening. Voila!

I use a tiny funnel generally. The cupped hand works fairly well.

When I made my one and only horn I drilled a 3/4 hole in the back of a Cedar wood plug. I made the plug flat. I made a decorated piece and threaded the end. It was made of a hard wood. It screwed into the base and made enough thread in the soft Cedar to grab and hold. I never had a problem with it coming loose. It made the horn easy to fill and if I didn't tell anybody they would never know it was a plug in the end of my horn. I still use that horn today. I made it in 1985.

Pictures, please?

I cut a hole in the cap of a powder can and cut the base off a 223 brass. Solder them together. You have a perfect no spill funnel.

 

[Loyalist Dave]

I fill mine with a small funnel.

Yes a small funnel for me too

I made a threaded wood plug using 1/2" stock - easy to fill - I use a mixture of 3f and Swiss Null-B for priming.

A whiskey flask funnel works great………Or so I heard.
