Another tip for loading BBs in stick type magazines

Living here in the South we get alot of pollen. We also live among crop fields of all types. With my allergies I tend to get stuffed up. For fast relief I use OTC nasal sprays. My go to brand is Equate 4 Way as pictured below.
Some of the empty bottles I pull the spray nozzle off, remove the small tube inside and put the nozzle back on after rinsing out the bottle and letting it air dry. I then fill the bottles with various oils and lubes and mark them with Sharpie. They fit great in my pocket or cleaning kit and precisely deliver a drop at a time.
I also found another great use...
After rinsing, drying and removing the tube, I cut about 1/4" off the top of the nozzle with a knife leaving a hole big enough for BBs to flow through. You can leave the cut flat or shape it to fit a rounded mag such as the Daisy Model 25.
Don't fill the bottle full. About half full will let the BBs flow into the mag as you tip it. It will easily hold 100+ BBs for reloading. Refilling the bottle is as easy as removing the nozzle and forming a funnel around the top with the yoke of your thumb and index finger and pouring them in.
Screw the cap back on and slip it into your pocket.

Nice tip!
I've found for smaller amounts of BB's, the little rectangular slide-top plastic tubes that mechanical pencil leads come in (or at least did, when I got them some years back) are just big enough inside to hold BB's...
Pour out fairly well too, not perfect but very compact...
