Hi guys,
Just looking for a little advice really. I'm new to reloading and ran a batch of .44 mags off the other week. However I didn't use all the powder in the powder measure hopper. Should I of emptied this back into the powder jar? A few people have told me that it deteriorates very quickly when left in the measure. Is that correct? should I get rid of this powder and get some more next time I reload? Regards Chris |

Cheers Target-Hunter,
It does. I though it wouldn't effect it . However people kept telling me that you shouldn't leave them full and as I'm new to reloading I want sure myself Thanks DaddyPig. All my reloading gear is in my spare bedroon so is nice and dry. I dont think I will be running another batch off for a few weeks so will decant it back into the pot till I need it then. All th best Chris |

I write the powder type on a label on the measure as I fill it. 2. Load some more cases until you run out of powder. Option 2. is the preferred choice, but as I shoot faster than I can reload usually there isn't much left over anyway. Always have some cases somewhere to fill.
