[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1055068, member: 2736"] I know times are hard and sometime we have to adapt. But when you mix powder you run the risk of not getting a uniform mix of different batches and if this happens the SDs will shift from load to load. Mixing uniformly is difficult and takes more than just poring them into a large container and then mixing it. Also to much mixing can break the grains and destroy the stabilizing coating on the powder that helps control burn rates. Some powders seem to have a greater velocity spread from one batch to another and others have very little and without a chronograph almost impossible to see. I feel like FearNoWind does, if I change batches of powder I check the load with a chronograph and also check POI for any changes. This process is not a waste of time , because over time things will/may change with the rifle even if you use the same batch of powder. I know people that mix primers of the same kind and cant figure out why their rifle/pistol is giving them trouble This is just My Opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
