I had loaded some .44 Special rounds with a 180 grain bullet and 14.5 grains of 2400 powder. The rounds contained, after firing, what I always called unburnt powder, as, within the round, are remnants of powder that did not completely combust. However, now that I think about it, it is more like powder that did not fully combust, but for which the physical composition has changed--e.g., it now has a blonde appearance, having, of course, previously been black-grey in colouration. Let's say I had not noticed this 'unburnt' powder and failed to remove it prior to reloading. How would that affect the reloads? To make the answer to this question easier, let's assume that I replicated the load above (which, of course, makes no sense, as if there is a fair amount of 'unburnt' powder left, it is a less than optimal load). Also, technically, what is the proper term for this, what I am calling unburnt powder?
