Powder horn base cap fit?
I usually load from a flask but wanted to try the powder horn again. I have one of the commercial type ones sold at the sporting goods store and noticed the fit around the horn base could be a little tighter...I've not noticed powder leaking but when I cleaned up the tip end with a drill bit as some horn material left over was clogging the orifice and followed it up with a spurt from the air compressor to get it out air leaked generously from the horn base plug. My thinking is the fit should be water tight obviously humidity and air temp can cause the fit to adjust over time but what should it be by design?
Were original horns water proofed at the cap in some way? Should I address this or let it be as powder is not leaking?
Thanks for the help.
