Accident mix powder what to do??

[Zeke-BE]

I was pulling 2 bullets and dumped back 120 oz H-1000 into a 1 pound bottle (half bottle) of Reload 23. Is this powder forever not usable for match grade shooting, or not at all???

[5guyshunting]

I wouldn't use it. Maybe light loads to fire form??

[Big or Bust]

Use both for plant fertilizer....

Half pound of powder is around $15. The safe, clean and easy way out of this is to dump it in a pile with a small trail leading to the pile, light the end of the trail and watch it burn. A half pound is 3500 gr so the powders are mixed at about a 1 to 30 ratio. The fire forming suggestion seems reasonable. Shake the bottle thoroughly and use RL23 starting charge. I have to confess to doing the same thing once with 2 similar powders and using the mix for light plinking loads for an AR-15. I managed to do it without blowing myself up.

IF you didn't shake up the bottle you can probably scoop out the first couple of inches off the top and throw it out.

 

At your own risk.

I say wrap the bottle with half a roll of duct tape, take a 3 ft strip of duct tape and pour a fine line of powder down the length of it, roll it length wise, light the end and take cover.

just use your wife's vacuum with hose extension to suck out the top inch.

 

Everything should be fine after that.........

Except for his rear end if the wife finds out he used her vaccum to suck up gunpowder.

Boils down to a simple question. Ask yourself if you like the gun that you would shoot those loads out of? Yes, dump the powder. No, load em up and see what happens. Also keep one powder on your bench or table at a time, will eliminate any future errors.

How ever you choose to get rid of it we want to see a video.

Yep one powder at a time. But I grabbed the wrong bullets and thinking they were for the R23. So the mistake is once your done shooting and need to pull bullets, pull it right away and don't wait!!! They could get mixed up
