Sorry about that Rob, really. I know the feeling. It will be good for your flower garden anyway.
did that myself once. 2 pounds gone
just use it anyway, whats the worst that could happen ? oh whats the 2nd worse that could happen ?
hey, watch where ya point that thing!
Well, that's something I have never done.............................................. ...............yet.

Ouch......a JUG of TG!!!
My condolences?
I really do feel bad, but it could always be worse. At least you recognized what had happened before you loaded more.
I would mix the heck out of it and start low. But that is me. The way the supply has been, its what I would do. They are both really close a burn rate.
I was thankful for that, but the thankfulness was quickly followed by anger. LolOriginally Posted by osteodoc08

The powders don't look the same. Tweezers and a microscope. It could be a bigger hobby than casting.

Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
I'd shake it up and shoot it. Be darned if I'd throw out that much powder. Mild to mid range loads I doubt if you'll notice anything. Just my opinion.

Do, or do not.

Because Tightgroup is slower then Bullseye I would mix it as well as I could and just use Bullseye loading data for it.
I just don't feel comfortable loading it. Will probably hand it off to my wife for her roses.

Bad procedure.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
My amendment can beat up your amendment.
I'll admit I've wasted a few pounds of powder that way, each time with powders of very different burn rates. Even if they were similar rates I'd worry that somehow the different chemicals wouldn't play well together. There's so much that I don't know about powders that I'll always err on the side of caution, even if it makes this old tightwad cranky for awhile.

According to lapua chart for powders they are equal in burn rate. I would load and shoot it up, to pricy and hard to get to use as fertilizer. most charts rate them as close to equal also.

When you find you are in deep trouble, look straight ahead,keep your mouth shut, and say nothing.

Mix sounds good if they are very similar burn rates, but another issue is density of the two powders. Even mixed if of diffrent densities they will slow seperate with vibration or flow thru a powder measure.
It's all just nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine, right? What's the big deal?
I did that with 4064 into a can of 3031. Still have the mixed can marked all over as mixed and stored away from other powders. Keep thinking I will find a use for it some day. I don't make pipe bombs.
I only allow one can of powder on the bench at a time and put a card with powder info in a powder measure.
I haven't done this yet, but always worried about it. For that reason, I never have more than one powder out of the safe at a time. Whatever is in the measure will be on the shelf above the bench. Everything else stays locked up until the measure is emptied out.
