I'm curious to know how people use up the last little bit of powder in a can? I don't like mixing lots, so I generally use it as fertilizer. I'm just curious what everyone else does.

You could always use it for fouling shots.

mike -

If it's just a little tiny bit, I dump it in the next can I'm going to open. Those few grains are not going to change the characteristics of the new lot to a noticeable degree.

Fireforming loads; initial work-up loads; and whatever else comes along.

In my K-Hornet I use it for fireforming .The rest of my rifles I simply toss the last bit in the new cannister.

Dump it in the next can, mix it and use it. Seldom is there significant difference in lots.

Under uses for spent 22 casings Tikka223 says:

Stick them up your nose and sneez them out for distance. Put them back in your
nose and sneez them out for bullseyes. Save one to dry fire your wepon. Drill
a hole in them and string them together as a neclace. Chair leg tips for your
doll house furniture. Fill the holes in your roof with them I think thay will
be just the right size. Use them as a condom. Make a house for a ant. Put them
on a long 2x4 and use them as targets. Put them around your trees and shrubs
as mulch.

Glue them together and make a boat.Turn them over and sell them as new ammo to
stupid people. Glue them to your desk as a pencil holder. Replace your missing
teeth with them. Make a big pile of them and use it as a radio antena. When you
walk in the woods make a trail with them so you can find your way home. Ad them
to soggy breakfast ceral to make it crunchy. Or do as my gun club and sell them
as scrap metal.
