That's not entirely true
The stuff we buy is at 3% max variance lot-to-lot, per SAAMI.

Sure, mixing two or more different *types* of powders is a cardinal transgression, but two or more lots of the SAME type of powder (from the SAME era) mixed together? In my opinion, no foul. I say go for it.

"...Seeing as reloading and shooting are dangerous..." Nope. Safer than crossing the street.
Yes, each powder lot has slightly different burn rates, but not enough to matter for hunting loads.

I know what kind of powder it is because it's kinda a gray-black color
I have two 1lbs of W231 that I'd like to put in a former 3 lls can od 2400 that I bout 3-29-01 that I took 1/2 the label off when I was checking the volume of can off 700X when I should have used 800X.....8 lbs of accurate 100 do best
