Keep It Dry: Store and carry only dry powder; reseal the stopper after dispensing.
Mind Your Environment: Keep the horn away from open flame and sparks when pouring.
Label Your Powder: If you load different granulations (e.g., FFFg vs. FFg), mark your horn to avoid mix-ups.
Transport Safely: Follow local regulations for transporting black powder and store in a cool, dry place.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe Clean after field use; avoid soaking the horn or wood cap.
Occasional Conditioning: A light application of natural oil on wood can help preserve the cap (avoid oils inside the horn).
Inspect Stoppers & Straps: Ensure a snug fit and good sling integrity before each outing.
