I'd never mix powders to load. That's not what this is about.
I had an empty container a while back, and I used it to store some powder I dumped from some pull-down loads (unknown load-out - so I dumped them). I intended to empty it later that week, but didn't for some reason - I think weather. A while later, I pulled down some more that someone had given me. I didn't even think about it, and just started a "pull down powder" container - mixing various powders for disposal.
It's a plain black Winchester powder container that I removed the original label from and put a white label on it that says, "Pull Down Powder - Do Not Use!" I planned on dumping it when I had more than just a little in it.
Tonight got me thinking... Can anything bad happen (chemical reaction causing fire, etc...) by mixing different types of powders in the same container?
I did a Google search for it, but all that keeps popping up is warnings not to mix powders for actual loading.
All the best,
Glenn
