[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 486464, member: 307"] Gentlemen, I too have been mixing powders of the same brand (different lots) for years with good results. Last I mixed were two lots of H4350 Extreme for my .300WinMag and of "mixed lots" it was probably the most accurate to date. I don't do this as a "regular practice" and normally it's very small amounts from one can to another full can. Any difference in the full can's burn characteristic will hardly be noticed. I have mixed cans of IMR4895, cans of H380, cans of W748, cans of H414, cans of RL22, cans of IMR7828 and IMR7828SC together and cans of H4350 and H4350 Extreme together, all with safe results. If there is ever a time to "work up slowly" it's after you mix powder lots. Not saying the practice is totally safe - but it is doable. Not something you'd likely ever get a patent on! :) I do not recommend this process to the novice and anyone reading this is responsible for their own safety. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
