Mixing diferent Lots of the same Powder

[MOOSE 4 GOD]

Westerner:

Got a new gun in july and its very finicky. Had some H4831sc and H4831 regular I had for about 10 years that did not do good in the same cal. bolt action as the new gun I bought. I had about 1/3 can of the short cut and 2/3 lb. of the regular. I tried R22, IMR 7828, 4831, 4350in the new gun but None of these done as good as I wanted. So I, like you thought what the heck mixed, shook well and loaded 115 hp's from speer and used their book at a stating load of 68gr's. 5 shots a 100yds under a dime and at 200yds a quater will cover them.Velocitiy strings are great don't heat the barrel couldn't ask for anything better. Don't know what I'll do when this runs out but I am thankful It's my grounghog load and I don't get much time to hunt um. It can be done just be careful and start low. Well like I said I may got lucky but this is an extreme mix. I have always mixed a few left overs of the same brand and burn rate in a new LB. and shake well to start a new lot. Hope this helps.
