I've never weighed out the capacity of a horn.  How big would a horn be that held a pound?
When I had my .62 sporting rifle, I used 150 grains of Ffg and my horn held enough for a 20 shot course.

That black one at the top shows promise for a flattie.  Thin, even walls all around would make it a delight to work with.  Then make a baseplug out of ebony?  Then put an applied tip out of snow white antler.  I'm starting to drool just thinking about it.
Do it!!!
Hmmm, I've never used ebony for a baseplug.  I don't think it would be all that difficult.  Gosh, I think I will try that after the next two or three horns I do.  I have a couple of lengths of ebony just waiting and wondering what I am going to do with them.

Wow Jim.That's a lot of powder to carry around. My largest horn holds 3000 grains. That's enough to shoot a 17 target course with powder left over after the shoot. You must shoot at a lot of targets or use some pretty stout loads.

The concept of a "day horn" just doesn't fit with how I shoot.  My first horn was a smaller horn; in the first match I shot I learned that it didn't hold enough to finish the aggregate.  Any more, if a horn won't hold at least a pound of powder, I don't want it.

Maybe, it's just short clips usually.
 Currently working on homemade antique muzzleloader propellent.
 Thought you guys would enjoy some of the progress.
 No biggie, I'll figure it out maybe 🤔
 John you're on the spectrum but severely retarded I don't know  :hairy

Maybe upload it to You Tube?  Then just post the URL here?
Of course, I have all the technical expertise of a severely retarded rock, so...  no guarantees that would work.

 My android records MP4.
 Since I can't upload MP4 here I need to convert it, suggestions??
 Is an online converter the only way?
 I poked around on here a little for an answer but didn't see any previous posts on how to do it.
 Thanks Kevin
