[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2391863, member: 10755"] Do not believe this. Canister powder, what we buy in 1lb or 8lb containers is not blended. Canister powder has to be within +/- 3% of the ORIGINAL burn rate to be classed as canister powder. Powders’ that fall OUTSIDE of these parameters are sold as BULK powders, which is then blended with different lot# by the ammo factories to obtain the desired ballistics for their cartridges. We don’t have labs to test blended powders, hence why the canister powders MUST be close or they don’t get classed that way. It is virtually impossible to know what powder is being used in factory ammo, even if proprietary companies list the recipe, it could be a lot of powder several years old. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
