[QUOTE="trubkir17, post: 2632152, member: 112555"] My wife wanted to learn about reloading, so she spent the evening with me while I did my thing. She asked me a simple question. Why do you call that powder, it looks more like pellets? I had no answer other than "inertia from the old days". I know it isn't even gunpowder, and that it is some kind of nitrocellulose, but I have always called it powder because that is what my dad called it. Is there an answer that is better? [/QUOTE]
