    Ive seen good ol' fashioned drink bottles used to replace powder hoppers. Pick one that has an appropriate sized neck, the solid bit with the thread etc and carefully file/sand the thickest piece to to the right diameter. Trim off the excess, cut off the bottom about 30-40 mm up from the bottom. Up end it and seat it. Then use the bottom as a cap.

    yip that works with the shotgun reloaders.... the one shown is quite a bit fatter and has straight sides...he could get lucky and find small water bottle the right size though......
