I checked the powder can when I got home and it's actually not the recalled lot number. There's a sticker on the bottom with a number like 010107. I guess that is the lot number, didn't see anything else that could be it anywhere else.

It's good to know that the first can of powder I ever bought wasn't a bunk, recalled lot!

I'm going to use the rest of it with some other once-fired Federal cases and 120 grain NBT's behind the mild and proven 46.5 grain loads. I think next I'll get some Nosler 130 grain Accubonds, Lapua or Norma cases, and VN or maybe Varget powder and see how my rifle likes that combination.

Thanks again everybody for all the help!
