[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2131297, member: 12282"] I noted in another thread that one user reports mixing powder from two different LOTS (not kinds) so as to improve consistency. I've been thinking of doing this for some time, as I just never got a full 8# jug of H4350, but I shoot it in enough different guns that I have 5 single pounders from various sources. So to clarify: I would like all 5 lbs to be the same, much as you would get from a large jug of one lot or 5 cans from one lot. Mixing them all together is called "bucketing" by painters, and that is always a good idea to avoid slight color variations in the paint. Mixing 5 lbs of powder should result in the powder being consistent over the whole 5# so that I don' t have to worry about lot to lot variation. I cannot see any downside except that I would have to label the cans as "mixed lots" and if there were ever a recall, I'd be screwed. And of course, I could not sell any in good conscience. But that's not happening anyhow..... [/QUOTE]
