i know that a few cut kernels of powder getting cut by a measure is no big deal, but what happens if a person purposely cuts them up? i am thinking of stick powders like IMR 4198 or IMR 4831. i know that some powders are offered as "short cut" or "super short cut" kernels. what i do not know is if they change something in the formulation to account for that. do not worry, i have no intentions of doing it. it is just my curiosity getting the better of me. and unlike cats, i only get one life.
