I'm looking to blend together different lots of RL26 to get a uniform burn rate. If anyone has an emply 8# RL26 jug, or any empty 8# jug, I'd pay for shipping plus 5$ or so, if you have another idea if another opaque sealed storage device I could mix it all together in, let me know. And please don't offer to take it off my hands for you to relieve me of my problem, that comments way too played out on here.
 
Legal to ship??? Ups can be funny about stuff. Maybe with the label removed? Dont know. Might get fined for residue. Ask locak skeet or trap guys. Many go through one.a month or more
 
Man, I'd think if a guy blew it out with an air hose it'd be fine. I'll ask around locally. I just moved to a new area, don't know many handloaders here.
 
Why not just use a empty plastic gallon jug that has been cleaned well.
I guess I could, paint the exterior, ever notice all gun powder comes in black non clear bottles? I take it UV affects powder over time? Idk I thought hell if someone has an empty jug, blows the residue out should be pretty cheap to ship a 1/2 # object. I'm in NW Montana if anyone is local.
 
Be careful with plastic bottles guys. Powder bottles are anti static. Carbon black is mixed in the plastic. Also makes them opaque to keep light out, but they must be anti static or you could burn to death.

I am in N.W Montana if I had an empty 8 lb I'd help you out. I just mixed 5 -1 pounders of H1000 together and then poured back into the 1 lb bottles
