[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1115291, member: 2736"] Thanks Greyfox That is a great description of all of the components that go into smokeless powder. and should explain why it is not a good idea to tumble loaded rounds and risk changing/damaging any of these components. Rough handling in the original containers could also damage the powder but with the number of cycles that a tumbler makes, it is a lot more severe. and depending on the run time in the tumbler, it could be destroyed or at least damaged to the point of non use. Another example of something that can/has been done that is not a recommended practice is taking primers out of the separated packaging and dumping them in a bulk container. ( I knew a guy that used a mason jar for this purpose) Explosives in a glass jar just doesn't sound good, and bulk storage is a perfect place to set a trap for your self and use the wrong primer. If it doesn't feel right, It probably isn't. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
