Glad to see that everything turned out ok. I would have used the powder and not worried about erratic ignition since the mixture was so slight. I have a white board on the wall and I post all of the current load info on it. This helps reduce mistakes like this. What kind of accuracy did it give you? Congressional power is like a toddler with a hammer. There is no limit to the damage that can be done before it is taken away from them. | |||

Accuracy was an inch to an inch and a quarter with the 300 winnie. I did take it up to 2890 fps and all seemed well. I chose to stop there using the 200 gr bullets. I don't think I will be able to tell any difference. I may have gotten 100 % of the re 15 out with the first pound or two. Lord takes care of drunks and fools. I am going for double coverage. Good hunting. Although cartridge selection is important there is nothing that will substitute for proper first shot placement. Good hunting, "D" | |||

I almost did this a long time ago - that's when I began keeping only the powder I'm using nearby - everything else is put away out of sight. No chance of mixing powders that way. I know it's Monday morning quarterbacking, but I'll at least give you credit for fessing up - we all learn from others mistakes. PS - next time it happens try vaccuming off the top - less chance of mixing.  . "Listen more than you speak, and you will hear more stupid things than you say." | |||

Yep that mauser saw a load generating ac.u.p. of probably 150,000 of presure. It might have made his ears ring and hand hurt but I am sure he will be more attentive if he did mix the powders,or buy it at a yard sale.  If it cant be Grown it has to be Mined!

erict: I wouldn't get a large mess of powder too close to the sparks generated by the motor of a vacuum cleaner... | |||
