    This is how I initially tested the powders. Two burns:
    Old powder and record burn time over 8"
    Burn known fresh powder over 8"
    Then check against known burning rates chart.
    Then if above looks OK load test ammo starting conservatively.

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
