Silly Me

[auriga3]

I had pulled 50 30/30 ammo to pieces the powder was Winchester 748 @30grns each say 1500grns or 98grams.I accidentally tipped the powder into a full 1/2 kilo of AR2208 which is 7700grns or 499grams.I contacted ADI their advice was dump the mixed powder.A costly mistake on my behalf no excuses.,lesson learnt be more careful & engage brain before hands.I can use either powder in the 30/30 but not mixed even as a small ratio.

First there was stupid me , Then there was silly me. Please May I introduce to you the third bright intellectual of our group his name is dopey me. And he has earned this name because when attempting to change a tyre this morning on the way home from his dingo hunting adventure , he realises that there is actually no jack behind the seat of his Ute

I know a bloke, about my height, who loaded cases with 2207 instead of 2209 and had to pull them apart.. I think his name was Dopey Me as well.

I am so lazy I would have shot the 50 rounds off instead of pulling them. I also only have one bottle of powder on my bench at a time to avoid tipping the excess from my powder thrower into the wrong bottle.

lucky you realised
it happens welcome to the club

Im so paranoid about doing that...!!

Ive done it, but only lost a small amount of powder thank god--not worth worrying about...so i used it to make a couple of rockets...

I have the powder im using in a different container...so even if i have a kilo or half kilo bottle, i tip some into another bottle & use that as the 'working bottle' & top that up as i need it...
But, i only load small stuff, & even with 308 sized cases its pretty rare for me to load more than 50 at a time, so the working bottle is only half full at most...

And as said earlier, we all know the rule---one powder type on the bench at any given time...

BTW...a random mix of trailboss & 2208, evenly sprinkled over a few overlapping sections of duct tape, then wrapped around a timber BBQ skewer & ignited, travel faster & further than one might ordinarily think... ...

If its any consolation, i just primed 15 cases to realise that they wernt sized yet.

Would be easy enough to do mate. Definitely only one tin of powder on the bench at any one time.
