[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 305992, member: 2011"] I fully agree with what J E Custom said. But here's what I do:rolleyes: I bought an 8# jug of US 869. It was hard to come by locally and I shoot a bunch of it. When it was about 50% gone I started looking for more. Could only find one pounders and only once in awhile. So once in a while I'd buy a 1 pounder and mix it in. Mixing for consistency will give one the vapors so I studied how the fertilzer blender at the local co op blended evenly 1 ton of dark pellets into 10 ton of phosphate. It came out quite even. So does the powder as the load hasn't changed and I chrono and RSI pressure lab frequently. (I wonder how long one would have to mix to get it all separated again:rolleyes:) I am on the last pound or two of the mix and will cease such actions as now I will only have to check performance for the next 8 pounder which will be necessary only once. I can live with once. [/QUOTE]
