[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1889810, member: 10178"] ''My LGS use to sell one pound cans of powder that were relabeled. They were taking 8lb cans and repackaging them into 8-1lb cans using previously empty bottles that needed to be relabeled." About 40+ years ago one of my LGS used to sale powder by the pound. They had different sized large canasters. They would weigh out a pound and put it into a PAPER BAG. Some of this powder was surplus military. When you got home you were supposed to put the powder into some air tight container. Many used a Mason Jar. This was before many people had a chronograph. You just started low and worked up watching for "pressure signs". This was back before the "accuracy" craze we have these days. If you got a load that was minute of ground hog out to the distance you were shooting them it was good enough. Little did we know the "danger" we were toying with at times. I still have all my fingers, hands and face. LOL [/QUOTE]
