Black powder used in some areas of the sub Sahara is "home made" and of large grain size, requiring more than what we in the "west" are used to charge a gun. That could be the reason that the flask is so large.

Hi Stu.
Yes, good point. I've noticed that most of the horn-shaped Ethno powder containers tend to be larger than what were normally carried in Europe and North America.
