    Something New

    Greetings,
    I was just out in the shed weighing out some charges of AR2213SC and I spotted something pale yellow in the powder in the pan. I picked it out of the charge with the tip of a fine screwdriver and had a good look at it. It was the same size and shape as the powder granules, just a different colour. I assume that it was just a powder granule that had missed it's final antistatic coating. Anyone else spotted this?
    GPM.

    Seen it a few times now

    Definitely missing a coating

    Likely the last flame retardant to control the burn speed

    Thanks for that,
    I had not seen it before in over 50 years of handloading.

    Yep, seen that too. First noticed sometime this year.
    Anybody noticed any difference in shooting loads ? I haven't.
