Last dregs of an MT BP can

[Pete04]

How do you get the last grains from your BP can/container?
If you don't get them, how do you dispose of the can?
I'm thinking manual can opener but am open to suggestion.

I save mine for when the club buys bulk powder in 25lb bags.

You could rinse the can out with water,I don't think a can opener would be too safe...metal on metal ...spark

You get many sparks opening Tuna?

LOL!

I don't get too many cans of Tuna that are dry and have gunpowder in them.

If you are talking about the very last particles in the can, let say 5 grains (volume) of black powder, no big deal.
I sometimes use a can opener to get them, if i don't want to keep the can. I would not do it with a full can! But if i feel there is less than what i use to prime a musket, i open the can.

I don't worry about them and usually save the cans for bulk powder. Also if not saving the can I save the lid and use it to make a pouring spout for full cans. Solder a 30-30 shell on the lid and drill a hole through the base. Be sure to save the cardboard washer or the cap/spout will jam
