[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 137511, member: 7"] The fly in that 200 marble ointment is... ... take 7 tons of 50/50 mixed powder (half of the powder is white and half is black - like your marbles), and start pouring them in 1 pound cans. the chance of getting a 50/50 mix in ANY of the cans is millions to one... so by your thinking, we have to test every can of powder. But it gets worse. Take a one pound can of (now questionable) 50/50 mix, and pour 1/3 of it in a powder measure. The chances of the mix in the measure being the same as the mix left in the can are one million to one. So we can't trust our powder measures. But it gets worse (you knew that was coming [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )... Toss a charge into the case, and the chances of that charge having the same proportions of mix as the powder in the hopper... ... and the same as the powder in the can... ... and the same mix as the powder in the bulk mix... ... is about eleventy trillion to one. Aren't you glad you tossed this issue in the "mix". By the way, when you go to a diner, DON'T put ketchup on your burgers, cuz every night, the waitresses put the leftover ketchup in bottles to fill them, so the ketchup will not be the same as it was yesterday. Don'tcha love these "theoretical", anal retentive compulsive, go nowhere debates?? Adrian Monk would be hellova handloader - he'd get about two cases loaded a year. Now... if you took 500 black cats, and 500 white cats, and tried to heard them... when you got where you were going, what would be the percentage of black cats to white cats?
