POWDER HORNS
nclonghunter:
Sorry for the fuzzy pictures- I have made several horns but this is the one I have used for many years. The rifle is a Mark Silver Rifle in 58 cal. I built from a Chambers kit. The woven hemp bag is for holding round balls. The finger is made from deer antler and holds my priming powder. I shoot 2F powder and grind it to a powder and use it for priming. I have used the wooden plug to crush and grind the 2F powder while in the pan. Super fast ignition. No need to buy a priming powder. The light colored ash handle pipehawk was forged by a friend is a very close reproduction of Squire Boones in the Indiana Museum. The other is a store bought repro with a hickory handle. The knife is also forged by a friend and has elk antler handles from a rack I found in Colorado. The bag is a brain tan deer I tanned and is bear oil rubbed. Love my gear and making what I use.

A lot of Primitive ranges will not let you have a horn on the firing line. They had a good article in the Muzzleloader magazine about horns and cans exploding at shooting tables.
