    BP Question

    Couldn't find a place to ask this so am trying here.

    I was given a can of Goex cartridge that was about 1/3 full.
    I used it to make the first rounds for my Snider Short Rifle.
    Now there is about 2 or 3 tablespoons of powder left.
    Can I add it to a new can of Goex Cartridge?
    Or best to put it on the Lawn as fertilizer?
    If I add it to a new can should I shake the can hard to get it mixed in good or what.

    A cheapskate wants to know

    If it's 2f or cartridge, just pour it in your new can and keep going.
    Long range rules, the rest drool.

    Good morning
    That is what I have always done.
    I remember years back some fellers had a neet little "try pistol" to compare the potentcy of one powder to another.

    Thanks Don and Missionary5155,
    I thought that was the way to do it but being a greenie stickum cap with BP thought I should check before jumping.
