I like to grind up the powder for this so its about like table salt. It goes down the nipple hole a lot better. I have made this mistake enough times that I made a dispenser from copper tubing with a spout on it and filled it with finely ground powder. Its over 20 years old and still gets used on occasion. My bud just did this and we used this trick to clear his gun.

Thank you for the advice! I will definitely try that as soon as I can get back to the range. What do you use to grind down the powder? I tried the compressed air method and that didn't work but I will try this our for sure.
