[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1946011, member: 17889"] Sometimes we make situations more complicated than necessary. Why deal with trying to get perfect homogeneity in a mixed lot? In a bowl, you probably won't. That will probably cause as much variation and uncertainty as having two powder lots. Do you have the DOPE from both powder cans? How much does it vary? You need 3,625.00gr for the 50 rounds. You are short 225gr....4 rounds worth. Load the 45-46 rounds from the 3400gr can. Load the 15 rounds from the 1100gr can. Shoot a couple rounds from each lot to re-confirm DOPE if you must. Use the 4+ rounds from the small lot loads on a specific segment of the match. Not that difficult to keep those 4 rounds separated from the large lot if there is any significant deviation in DOPE. [/QUOTE]
