[QUOTE="TR1Hemi, post: 2486864, member: 122752"] I dont match shoot, so..........lately I HAVE been blending new 1# into existing 8# jugs. I mean it is not like you are mixing brands of 4350, or ball with extruded, or different speeds, only the exact same powder. I have only done this with H335 for 5.56 and 6.8 loads, and Universal for 9, 40, and 45. If you cant trust lots to be "essentially" the same, then can you really trust that brand? If mixing a new lot with your old lot causes pressure signs or loose primer pockets, then you were probably living near the edge, and that new lot unblended probably would have blown the gun up. Again, handgun and plinking ammo only, not match ammo. The trick is pour some in, shake, pour some in shake...and shake before use. Over the long haul your powder is more probably consistent, the transition from lot to lot is far less noticeable, if at all. [/QUOTE]
