[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 305926, member: 313"] I'm curious so I've just got to ask - why would anyone buy 18 single 1lb containers of the same powder, with different lot numbers, over 2-3 years? 18lbs of powder would last the average shooter a loooong time. At an average of 70gr per charge (arbitrary number) you would get 1,800 rounds from that much powder. Presumably, it would last longer than most new SS barrels in any magnum chamber. What will you be using it in? To answer your question - if all the powder was manufactured in a 2-3 year period and was kept properly, I would have no problem carefully mixing the powders. Although I doubt that there is much benefit to doing so. [/QUOTE]
