Reuse pulled powder?

[bigdawg86]

So they are your rounds?

You will be pulling them?

Even if you don't know for absolute certain it is retumbo (just told by the previous owner/loader), you will know the load density, bullet weight, etc., hence the relative burn rate.

I would not hesitate to use powder with those circumstances.

They are his rounds, I pulled them last night. (filled 3/4 of mason jar with 62 rounds). Like you said, load density will tell alot. Berger states 94g of retumbo is 108%, these were loaded to 91g which would be 96.8% case fill by volume. Seems to be spot on.

I guess the final question is the guy that you got them from shot at least one through his gun right? He still has all his important parts?

I probably would do the visual check just in case, but really, you likely have everything you need to proceed.
