I have always been told never do this but have heard people are mixing to get the best of both powders??? Any one tried this? What applications were you trying to fill?

 

[msredneck]

No way Jose.....Leave that for the Chemical Engineers...

Good Luck to ya...update your will...leave me a couple of those 1911's :lol4:

Be careful...

 

[captain-03]

Yea -- I have read about it ... seems more are trying it lately. Many use a "shot" of Bullseye added to their normal powder in magnum rifle loads to ensure all powder is burned ... I would NEVER try it!! Guns cost too much and I do not want to be "blind."!!

'Neck and the Captain have been giving me advice as I go down the path to reloading so I'll take their word. "Best of Both" sounds like a mix to hot to handle. I'll defer to their advice.

 

[canebreaker]

I would check on the burn chart first.
If I had some slow burning powder that I needed to get rid of, I'd mix. But I have a lot that needs the house cleared. Why mix?

 

[msredneck]

I get rid of powder I don't want by

A. Giving it to someone who wants it

B. Pouring it in the flower bed using it as fertilizer

I like keeping all my fingers and hands attached to my body and would prefer not to pick metal out of my face....

ALot of very accomplish benchrest shooters mix rifle powders. I wouldnt mix handgun powders, but I DONT RECOMMEND IT FOR THE AVGERAGE JOE. Im not even savvy enough to do so. Yet i have seen it done religiously by benchrest champs.

I don't see where it would help the average Jo like me anyway. I'm sure there are some powders that could be mixed, but that's way there are so many powders, find one that burns right for you.

 

[bigsig]

You talkin' about mixing or duplex loads?

This is insane,

Doug

 

[kw-bane]

i agree with Doug.....mixing powders is just CRAZY!!

 

[nonnieselman]

only time i mix powder is if i spill some or find some that im not sure what it is.. I mix it all up and get a match and watch it burn. :lol4:
Mix in a lil black powder to get some good smoke.

 

[quigleysharps4570]

This is insane,

I agree.

 

[Limbic]

I don't even mix the same powder from different lots.

 

[righttoown]

:whaaa: :F1: :crazy:

 

[moredes]

Somebody's crazy. The only time I mix powders is when I buy two or more cans of the same powder and I wanna guarantee consistency from container to container. Then I'm on a concrete floor mixing in glass bowls. (my wife loves that)
