What happened?
That's what I did to mine. Worked great. I can still see them but the horn is now usable.Can't you patch the holes with epoxy?

I would experiment with using colors to dye epoxy to close to the same color and then patch the holes. Those are too nice to discard. Tempera paint powder can be found at Hobby Lobby. I have done this before although not with powder horns and it works.
Can #2 be sawed off, the plug reduced to fit, and savaged or would that make it too small?
I really, really hate to discard something that I can dream of a way to save.
Small horns are useful. I just turned a small priming horn into a "day horn". Now that thing is small, but as I posted, it still holds about 200 grains more powder than needed or even wanted for hunting. I only carry six or seven extra ball and patch when hunting. It holds enough for nine shots. Plenty for spillage and priming. (when used with the Jeager, 110 grain charges)Can #2 be sawed off, the plug reduced to fit, and savaged or would that make it too small?
Well dang it Hawg! Send it to me. I'll make a little day horn out of it!I might be able to epoxy the middle one but it would be an ugly mess. I never use it anyway.

The horn I made that out of was really giant/long, so I made a nice cup out of what I trimmed off.
