Youngeyes Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I feel your pain. I dumped some H-110 into a mostly new 4lb jug of W-231. Bit the bullet(no pun intended) and ditched the jug. As Grumpy said, expensive fertilizer. It helps to drink afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgj3 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm afraid that I may be the crazy that would decide to relegate this bit of powder to practice loads and shoot it. I'm not a chemist, but it would make sense to me that the result would generally be lower velocities due to the rifle powder not contributing much in a pistol case. I certainly would not use it for match ammo. And, I think you would see the "best" result from a thorough blending of the mixture. I suspect that a case full 335 would likely not perform well at all. I think you would make a fantastic guinea pig! Let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I would relegate this powder to practice loads, you would see the "best" result from a thorough blending of the mixture. I've certainly seen crazier ideas - I'm not recommending this, understand, but I'd be tempted to try a Very Light Load with a very light bullet in a very strong gun with fully supported chamber, and see what happens, myself - I'd never recommend anyone with an ounce of common sense try this, though. Major ammo mfgrs commonly "blend" powders on a custom basis??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Neill Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The blending at ammo manufacturer's that I'm familiar with was blending different lots of the same powder, never blending different powders. Since they buy non-canister grade powders, and have pressure guns to test in, they can do things we cannot. Their blending of different lots is normally to try to get the same (or near) results as they have been getting in the past for ballistic uniformity. Thus, if they encounter a lot giving a large variance from their established ballistic performance, they may take another lot of the same powder that is faster/slower than the lot they started to use and blend them to get something in the middle. Otherwise they simply develop the load to the lot of powder using the pressure gun to ensure pressures are within SAAMI and giving the ballistic performance is what they have specified. Blending two lots of Bullseye 84 is no where near blending diverse powders such as 231 and H335. (Note - Bullseye 84 is a non-canister powder that is chemically Bullseye, but granulated differently (as I understand)) Canister grade powders, such as we use in reloading, may be blended by the powder manufacturer of two or more lots of the same powder to five us the canister grade lot to lot uniformity we expect.

jmorris Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space. No, but seriously, it's powder not your last jar of baby food. Oh, I didn't say I would make plants grow with it. I have done a lot of dumb stuff and still do from time to time, I just wouldn't risk any of the firearms I wish to keep to an unknown. Do I think it would have much effect? No. However, would not gamble a gun on it. I don't mind making a bet (if I know the out come) gambling is going on odds and they always get you in the end.

ropsitos Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If you're not going to shoot it, at least garner some joy from it and burn it full on cartoon style. Draw yourself out a long winding line and light'r up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ysrracer Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 How much is the powder worth? How much are your fingers worth? Do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedwagon Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I accidentally mixed some one time. Almost full one pounder of Titegroup and something else. I gave it to my local Sheriff's office. They use it for K9 explosive training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
