    Left over chargemaster powder

    Those if you that use chargemasters or similar
    Know that when you tip a lb of of powder into your charge master there’s still a fair amount left when the powder feeder stops picking up powder
    Probably enough for 20 loads depending on the cal

    So what do you guys do with this powder I know you could hand weight it but I really can’t be f**ked with that to be honest

    *So would you save it then when you have left oves from a few bottles of the same powder ie 2209 mix it and use it for sighters or hunting loads where you don’t need to be so worried about batch to batch consistency

    * chuck it in with the new bottle of powder of the same type and mix well

    * chuck it in the garden

    Cheers

    On the Lyman you have, there's a hatch with a ramp to retrieve the excess powder
    Identify your target beyond all doubt

    In with new powder, the batches won't be that different.... Ever done a ladder test and seen if your on a node, a little either way makes bugger all difference.
    ( Oh and I buy from the same store... Take my batch number in with me and try to match if possible)
