[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 485920, member: 21068"] I have been doing this for many years. Haven't seen any problems yet due to mixing same powders of different lots. Ultimately, we want to develop the load with the "mixed" lot, and make sure it is in fact mixed well. I've put 3 partial 1 lb cans of H 4831SC in a tumbler and mixed them that way. I also mixed alot of H380 before I started buying it in 8lb cans. I didn't want to worry about re-testing loads when I changed from one lot# to the next either. I don't have any info on powder deterioration, I've never left any out.? Don't know why you couldn't mix the cans for the same reason though, unless it is really degraded? I don't know how degraded powders behave. Just in case any newbies are reading this and misunderstand: [B]Never Ever mix powders of different type or brand. IMR 4831 is not the same as Hogdens 4831, do not mix them!! I would not even mix H4831 with H4831SC.[/B] [/QUOTE]
