Some folks are using the little gun that came with the car but I am wondering if there is a better way. The original gun holds not-so-much lubricant and is somewhat of a pain to fill. Also apparently the gun was designed for some type of semi-liquid lubricant not in general use today, and not designed for mere cup grease or the like.

Actually I think the opposite.
For wheel bearings, Ford specified an NLGI grade 4 grease in the 1932 Service Bulletins. This grease is firmer than the commonly used NLGI grade 2 multi-purpose grease most everyone uses today for wheel bearings. I believe the NLGI grade 4 was specified to reduce leakage. However today we use better seals allowing the use of thinner NLGI 2 grease which I believe is better for wheel bearings.
