So, sooner or later the packaging will indicate even same lot numbers until one of the retail number's die. Every lot now is being shipped from St. Marks as industrial powder, if you will. Canister "grade" is now up to the purchaser from St. Marks. In other words, expect number changes for these individual lots, unless Hodgdon is going into the mixing business (of smaller lots) to make up an "old" Canister number. ... felix
