A genuine powder horn should be an essential part of any traditional black-powder shooter. These curved horns feature turned wooden plugs and stoppers, and sport a leather thong for easy transport at the range or in the field.
It was hard to fill the horn with powder having such a small opening to pour into. Also,after the powder was in the horn for two weeks it became caked together and I had to find a thin rod and cram it down the small opening to break the powder loose. Other than that, the horn looks pretty.....
I have purchased three of the Cabelas powder horns. Appearance wise, they are very attractive and applicable to the period. However, the better of my three is still rather small and hard to fill. The second was returned because the hole was not bored completely from the nozzle to the powder chamber, The third is otherwise functional but the wooden cap falls out easily. It is hard to keep the straps tight as well. Finally, made in India? That isn't exactly a country I would expect cow horns to be exported from.
