Title: Sheep Horn powder horn
Post by: Hank12 on November 16, 2012, 01:16:39 AM
Another one of my "of the wall horns. Some kind of sheep horn from Hawaii or so I was told by the man who donated it to the shoot where I won it. I couldn't put a spout on the other end, it was flat and solid so I pluged the large in and made a spout made  from Buffalo horn then made a pouch that slides up and down on the horn straps. A little different but hangs nice and flat against my side. I use it with a .54 ML pistol.

Old Salt, here's the backside, that about covers it, not much to see from the edges. I made the tubes around the horn straps thinking I might need to pull the bag up and out of the way when pouring powder but actually that hasn't been the case.  The horn swivels up on each end to pour the powder very easily.
Horner, no, it's not heavy at all.  It doesn't hold a lot of powder, 1/2 lb. or maybe less but way more than I ever shoot , at one time, in a pistol.

because of the curve it didn't hang well on top of the bag so i put it on the bottom. Hank

That is really cool. I like how you used the brand on the flap of the bag.
