[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2230789, member: 11853"] Like I said,I've mixed lots of powder and have on hand mixed lots of powder with never an issue,but all it takes is one time to mix a bunch of different lots and have one of those lots be recalled.The powder I had that was recalled,I bought two pounds and had it for about two years.I shot one pound and part of another pound without issues.Then the recall notice came out and very shortly after the notice,powder that had never given me any issues suddenly went bad.It started sweating around the lid and a reddish dust cloud poured out when the lid was taken off.This powder was stored indoors with a controlled cool environment.So the best I can explain it was like an expiration date.Once it reached that date,I went bad and turned very acidic.Ammo that I had loaded and shot with no ill affects just a month or so before showed that the powder went bad in the case as well.When I broke the ammo down,the powder looked wet and the base of the bullets showed a blueish corrosion.I had shot one of those rounds that was like that and it was extremely high pressure and it smeared the head stamp on the brass when I ejected the round.That one time bad experience made a lifetime believer out of me it's better to be safe than sorry.
