[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 2492941, member: 107384"] It's ok to combine like powders with other containers of the same lot as long as the powders have not deteriorated. If your experience is that 2 different lot numbers have a 2 grain difference at your maximum load, then I'd experiment with different weight ratios starting at 50:50. The good thing is that you won't get any hotter than the hottest lot. Too bad the manufacturers don't have a place where you can look up data for each lot and how the "hotness" of each lot compares with the "hotness" of their standard. Say for example lot 123ABC is 101% of the standard while lot 234DEF is 98.5% of standard. Keep in mind all cannister powders have to be uniform within narrow limits in order for the load data to be safe and trustworthy. [/QUOTE]
