Default Grease gun

I just bought a Plews mini grease gun that takes 3 ounce cartridges. Can
it be loaded with bulk grease instead of using those expensive little

instructions don't say anything about it, and I don't see a good way to
bleed the air out. Thanks.

I hate grease guns. Only one I've ever had that didn't require fiddling
to keep working was a Lincoln that I bought online, after being
frustrated with all the ones available at my FLAPS and inherited from
older relatives... best $30 or so I ever spent.

Don't exactly know the answer to your question, but I assume you can,
the question is "how difficult is it?" I am pretty sure that most of
the FLAPS ones I've had have been Plews and at least one of them ended
up in the trash can.
