[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 211478, member: 4191"] I just bought two one pound containers of IMR 7828 from Sportsman's Warehouse because I couldn't find any 8 lb kegs. I mixed the two 1 lb containers together hoping I'll at least get consistent performance from the two pounds of blended powder. I couldn't tell from looking at the two 1 lb containers if they were the same lot number or not. One 4 digit number matched, but the longer number above the 4 digit number didn't match. And there was no "Lot #" printed on the containers anywhere that I could find. I don't understand why Hodgdon (which now owns IMR) doesn't make it simple to locate and compare Lot numbers on the IMR powder containers. Anyhow, I'll post again if this mixed two-lb blend performs noticably differently than the prior batch of IMR 7828 I'd been using. I don't see how it could be too far off the norm of performance. I don't get the post about mixing one lot with a lower burn speed with a lot at a higher burn speed compounding any problem. Mixing the two batches uniformly together should put you right in the middle of the two burn speeds to my way of thinking. Sounds like witchcraft folklore... I don't normally mix, but a one lb container won't last very long and then I'd have been on to a new batch with a different lot #. I'll be buying an 8 lb keg when I can find one. [/QUOTE]
