Schuetzen cap drilled for spout?

[CyrusP]

Perhaps a stupid question, but any reason why I can’t drill the plastic cap on Schuetzen powder to take the spout from my used up Swiss powder can?

no not at all just drill slightly undersized for a tight fit

Thanks! I didn’t think so but can’t hurt to ask. Yes to the undersized hole.

If it won't stay put use Shoe Goo to make it stay there. It will work on all the other Schuetzen cans you have.

Thanks. I have 2 pounds of Schuetzen 3F I might as well try before digging in to my Goex stash. My Kibler SMR shoots well with the Swiss I just finished but I’ll try this to see if it’s good. Worst case the Schuetzen can be used in my various revolvers but I’m sure it will be ok.

As stated the shoe glue will help seal and keep it in place, It is not easy to find a glue that works with plastic. I have found shoe glue to be very helpful on both plastic and leather it remains flexible on leather.

I recently put a spout on the plastic cap of a Goex can. I carefully drilled an undersize hole and press fit the brass spout - made from a cartridge case. The paper cap disk was removed and a corresponding hole punched in it. I then put some epoxy inside the caps top and put the paper disk back in. It's all a very tight fit and works well.

How do you plug the top? (mouth of the case) I would do the same with a .223 case.

Thanks.

Just put and unpunched cap on from and empty can? Maybe use a rimmed case?
