Leaving a loaded powder horn?

[LME]

Verify that your horn is air tight (especially if you bought it vs made it yourself), and keep it fairly full. An air tight horn is every bit as good a storage method as the bottle it comes in.

are you going to buy my mold or steal it? you have my number If I don't hear from you soon I will expose you.

Huh?

Thank You, Makes me wonder about my powder can.

The only concern I would have would be an actual fire in the room it was stored in. Then....the concern isnt for the horn itself, but the actual fire!

Good vid. Not what I was expecting. Thought it might just 'foof' off. But, does prove why loading directly into the rifle is potential bad news.

Huh?

I sent HSmithTX a ball mold and he refuses to contact me? I used tracking and know it was delivered. I was looking for a check which it appears I won't receive? I hope I am wrong and if I am I will appologize.

I am so sorry LME, I was out of town when it arrived, my son put it away after he send me pictures of it, I should have followed through when I got home but I forgot. I PM'd as well, I can send electronic funds immediately or I can get a check out in the mail tomorrow. Let me know your preference. Again, I am very sorry.

Dang!
Settled before the popcorn finished popping….

 

[HSmithTX]

I feel awful about this, I can't get through on the phone, I'll keep trying.

I am glad you got in touch with me. I wasn't concerned so much with the payment as I was with being shafted. You were out of town and it slipped your mind. That is good enought for me . You made me feel better by explaining why I wasn't contacted.

I have two smal horns that stay full of powder. It's never clumped so the horns keep it rather well. My powder supply is kept in a picnic cooler in the basement while the two horns stay with the shooting bags.

My powder supply is kept in a picnic cooler…

Never thought of that. Good idea! I think I’ll get some thin plywood to build a false box around it to look PC.

Is it safe to leave your powder horn loaded and hanging on your wall? It’s pyrotechnics if that matters.

34 years now its been full and hanging by the door ...and wood heat here . I think it'll be ok ....
