Ooops......I had about 5 brass cases worth, or about 250 grains worth of Varget powder left over at the bottom of the can, and threw it into another 1lb varget canister that was 3/4 full. I mistakenly thought they were the same lot. I have always tried to follow the golden rule that you should not do this. However since the dirty deed is already done, I'm wondering if it will work well enough for when I try to develop a new load....or should I revert this powder just for sight-in chores or bore fouling duties? (....short of throwing it out.)
I have never tested the real world results of doing this, and how it on actually translates on paper. (?) Will the granules from the two different lots be redistributed unevenly in the powder and cause shot-to-shot POI inconsistancies on paper? If it's just a matter of resighting my gun, and then the groups will stay just as tight as they always have, then it's not a problem to me.
