Screw on funnel for 8# Hodgdon jugs?

[BoydAllen]

Does anyone make one? Where can I buy it? Thanks.

Could it be a DIY project with some epoxy?

I took a 1# powder can, and cut the bottom off. Then I drilled a 1/2" hole in the steel lid.

Been using it to funnel powder from 8#ers into 1# cans for 15 years. Works perfect!

I cut a plastic soda bottle a couple inches above the screw on cap. Powder runs quickly through the large opening. You can use the 20 oz. soda bottle or for a larger funnel, the 3 liter.

Powdervalley used to sell a screw-on funnel.

I use funnel obtained at the auto parts store for changing oil, the spout fits in the opening of the std 8lb jug just about perfect.

I've always just rolled a piece of scrap paper into a cone and secured it with a piece of tape.

I bet somebody like boltfluter would make something like this. or call somebody like area 419- it would be a seller like having a pour spout on a whiskey jug.

next time you have an empty jug save the lid and get a plastic funnel from harbor freight or wherever. A Hogdon 8 lb jug has a 2 1/2 inch diameter top. drill holes in the lid or just cut off the threads of the lid. Cut the funnel off with a hack saw or heavy scissors so that it is about 3 to 3 1/2 inches the get some epoxy putty and introduce the lid to the funnel. Scuff the plastic before gluing to get a good bond

Holy cow !!! I've been using the Lee yellow scoop for years. This is a revelation.

Only kidding. I use the oil changing funnel from the Auto Zone or similar store.

That shows to be for the 1 pound containers. Smaller than the 8 pounder.

 

[ratbuster]

You are correct KMart, my bad!

Someone fire up a 3d printer.

Or change to larger capacity cartridges...

17cal onto a 1lb jug aught to be near a 17-bmg for velocity right?

Only if it's Win 231 powder.

Dispensing powder directly from an 8 lb jug? Boyd, are you loading 20mm cannon rounds again?

I don't have any 8#'ers to compare, but if someone wanted to send me an old lid, I'd be willing to 3D print one for you.
