I have fired many (over 20,000) rounds using blended powders. I started out using 4831 with a booster charge of Red Dot in a 44 mag. It worked. After much experimentation I gave up using "duplex"(that is two powders loaded seperately) loads in favor of blending to meet my burning rate requirements.

With this you can taylor your loads to your components and your gun and achieve this at much less cost. With two powders, ie. WC852 (slow lot) and PSA you can load everything from a big belted magnum with a heavy bullet to a 223 with a light bullet. And the powder will be correct for every combination.
Don't try this at home!
