When they Send you the wrong" Powder "

[Gunsrruss]

I use surplus powder all the time. I have set loads that have worked for years. I ordered WCC 846 Powder to keep my stash at 60 lbs. What I received was at least one jug of WCC 844. There's a big difference in those two ball powders. The problem was the 844 was in a 846 marked jug. My rounds and the rifle have been malfunctioning for months. Once I realized all the AR's I have were doing the same thing I knew I had to look elsewhere for the problem. It was determined on this sight that my load was to hot so I started reducing same. When I got down to the max load for 844 all my problems went away. Mean while this error has cost me tons of money and time. I learned a valuable lesson here. When ever I break open a new jug I'm going to test it.

How much WCC844 you have left over? Too late to call the MFGR? They might like to know the lot #.

I probably have a couple pounds left. I can use it, I just developed a new load so I could use it up. It just took me forever to track that down as my problem. When I go into a new 8lb jug I will throw together 10 rds and see what I have.

not to be a wise *** but canister powder is always good to go for the dif in price over thats what i stick too my 2 cents. or re test ecah jug you open that is a good idea.

I just wonder how many mismarked 8 lb jugs went out to the Consumers. That's kind of a big & dangerous boo boo boom!
