Defective Powder?

Their burn rate would be slower.

Yes but how much slower? IN a mix you would have fast and slow powders.. Not worth it.. since each length will burn at a different rate + it will be almost impossible to meter.

This is a shotgun powder. You use a 30-40 grain charge. This will not create metering problems when used as intended. It will not cause metering problems with pistol charges either because a quality measure will cut it.

I am loading for .45, using a 5 gr load, well below max. I picked out the big chunks from the whole pound then I chronographed 35 rounds, and the SD was 10, if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure Hogdon doesn't make the powder, it comes from some odd country like Latvia or Croatia, so I just didn't want to mess with them. Still looking for that rule book... Anyone else Have any experience with somthing similar?

Who's rule book does that come from? Can you direct me to a copy?

Only an idiot or an as$ would assume that just because a question is posted, that the poster is some brainless fool that will blindly follow the replies.

Ahem!

My plan was to pick out the biggest bits and use it anyway.

Use your words, post something relevant.
