Greetings,
This is a stupid and rhetorical question only. NO ONE should try it.
Often, I get on a 223 round with a light strike. I disassemble the round, keep the bullet and brass but discard the powder.
Lately, I weighted the powder in the cases and to my surprise, whatever the headstamp, the powder inside weighted between 23.5 and 25.5 grains. I know each brand uses a different powder because looking at it, it looked different. Sometimes it was very obvious, sometimes it was a slight difference in color.
My stupid question #1: Can I reuse this powder by simply putting a new primer?
My very stupid question #2: Because it is really very close to the same weight, what would it do it I put all that powder in a can then throw 24.5 grains of the mix and reload it?
(Like our Great ruler says in his speech reading his 2 tele-prompters, and me, I am not lying like him...) Let me be clear! It is a rhetorical question. I WOULD NEVER DO THAT. It just lingers in my mind what would it do?
Thank you
