moose milk container

[azmntman]

What are some good ideas for moose milk bottles with nozzles? Per the Dutch system I am looking for a bottle with a tiny hole to sparingly apply moose milk to swiping patches. What do some of you guys and gals use?

Was thinking of my old Hoppes #9 BP bottle but it has too big a hole.

THANKS :grin:

I don't use it but if I did I think I would use something like a lotion bottle that has a pop up top. The plastic is soft, flexable and strong so you shouldn't have to worry about it breaking or leaking.

Yes that's what I need but with a tiny pin hole nozzle. Lotion etc would allow too much fluid.

Moose milk is best stored and carried in a mama moose! :rotf:

Nope they are good droppers. Check your local big box, or dollar, store. You will find lots of possibles.

Eye drop bottles, Visine and the like, maybe the pharmacy has some.
Ask around at your work or friends with contacts, they use up wash bottles pretty quick, the hole ain't as tiny as eye drops bottles but still pretty small.

What about a small spray bottle?

I am a sanitarian at a county health department. My department uses lots of pool test kit bottles every year. Lately I've been scavaging the empty bottles, cleaning them out, and giving them away at shoots for use as oil bottles.

For use at the range I have a 2 oz brown glass bottle. Take the cap off, put the patch over the opening, shake up and down once, move the patch over a little and repeat. Puts just enough on for a good wipe.

I used plastic bottles and found that over time they either breathed enough or let in enough light to cause the Moose Milk to get stringy. The problems stopped when I switched to brown glass.

I got a plastic squeeze bottle like those used for ketchup, mustard or syrup, and it had a short 1.5" nozzle, with a snug-fitting cap on a retainer too.

Cost me all of $2, but I can't remember where I got it. With spring/summer coming (oh but NOT soon enough!) you may find something where they sell cookout/camping supplies.

Tight groups. :thumbsup:

I have long suggested the Ronson Lighter Fluid container.
It has a very fine pin hole flip top cap.
Its easy to fill by letting the can suck up the Moose Milk.

Another choice is to find a flip top bottle and glue in a short section of that red tube that comes with all WD-40 pray cans.
I used this method for most of the last 9 years I was able to continue at the range.

The point of all this is to be able to control the amount of Moose Milk so that you only dampen the wiping patch and not have excess moisture of any kind drip into the breech which will weaken the powder of the next load.

Mooman suggests a spray bottle.

It could work but personally I have not been able to tightly control the amount squirted out of a pray bottle.

If you go to Walmart, look in their "travel and samples" section. You can often find small bottles.

Other drug stores may have something similar.

If you are using the Dutch method, just put some moose milk in a dish and put your uncut patching material in it and let it get good and wet. Then squeeze out the excess and lay the material on a dead flat and completely level surface to dry. I use empty medicine bottles that prescription pills come in from the drug store. I roll up a strip of patch material and put it in the bottle. I then add enough moose milk to saturate the patching. Once it has gotten good and wet, I remove it from the bottle and run it between my snugly clinched index and middle fingers to strip off the excess which I catch in the bottle. Then I lay out my strips to dry.

If Dutch tells you to do it any differently, do it his way. This is just a way that I have worked out that works for me.

I believe a spray bottle would work fine...once. Had too many issues with chemicals gumming up the inards in prior useage's

Will try a lil bottle I just found from an old camera kit that was used for lens cleaner. Looks like just the ticket. If it don't work I will get the light fluid bottle and dump n clean and milk the mama moose directly into it!

Go to a beauty supply store. They will have a wide selection of plastic squeeze containers with the pointy lids for girls who mix up their own beauty stuff. IIRC they will be less than a couple dollars and come without a hole in the top so you can punch the size one you want.

:thumbsup:

try a backpacking/camping supply store like REI
they have tiny 1/2 ounce or less flip top queeze bottles.

As already suggested, eye drop bottles. I use these and they work great. I carry two with me hunting and they take very little space in my bag and dispense just the right amount of moose milk. I mark the bottles as moose milk.
