[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 979365, member: 81139"] I bet you are going to hear differing opinions on your last question. Personally, my common sense says that it's not a good idea. Not knowing what powder you are using, you won't have any idea of the pressure curve for it. On the other hand, typically, the smaller the bullet weight (in grains), the higher the powder charge you can "typically" use, so going down from 180 to 175, the powder charge for the 180s that you emptied should be fine for the 175s. The problem is that it totally depends on your bullet. I've seen examples where that common sense approach is not valid. I honestly don't see a point though in working up a load for that little powder and with the potential hazards which could result, I suspect that though I might think about throwing caution to the wind, I'd likely play it safe and just dump it. I like my guns, hands, and face too much to take the chance of merging them together, for just a couple packs of ammo. [/QUOTE]
