A few weeks ago I was using my automatic powder dispenser and had it filled with Unique. I emptied it (or thought I had) and long story short ended up dumping maybe 30 grains worth of it into my about full 9oz container of Trail Boss.
I know someone is going to read this and scream "NEVER MIX POWERS!" but, again, this wasn't intentional and I'm not intentionally mixing powders.
It seems that when I throw a 3.5 grain charge of Trail Boss I get anywhere from 3 to 8 flakes of the Unique powder with the charge. It's probably not even .1 grain worth of powder per throw, but it's there.
Can I still use the powder I have or is this going to cause unsafe pressures? For the record, I intend to use this can of Trail Boss in .327 guns. Hodgdon lists the pressure for min and max charges of this powder in .327 from 12-18 thousand PSI and .327 has a SAAMI spec of 45k PSI max.
I can't imagine a few flakes of Unique is going to cause pressures to spike above 45k PSI.
