I got 4 lbs of Bullseye yesterday that I ordered from Midway and when I opened the box and took the lid off of the container the seal was broken.  Just wondering because I've never had a 4 lb container of Bullseye, and it is only about 2/3's full.  Does that sound about right?

Got scale? Weigh yourself then weigh yourself and powder. Did you gain 4 pounds?

I would be concerned about the seal, been reloading since 1965 and I have never opened a powder yet that had a broken seal…

Midway will make it right if you call them.

All containers are filled about 2/3 of the way, depending upon the container.  The old containers of Alliant Reloader (the tall ones) were only about half full when you bought it by the pound.

How much was in the container is not the issue. That's normal.

Call Midway about the broken seal, that's the issue.

When you twist open the top on Bullseye the seal sometimes comes off with it.  As long as all of the powder is there and the seal was inside the lid you should be fine.

The seal was inside the lid, and it does weigh 4 lb's.

I have had this happen with an 8 pound jug of tightgroup for what it's worth.  The seals on the one lb. containers take a lot of force to get off, but the larger jugs seem to be able to twist off with the cap.

I usually avoid taking the cap off till I'm ready to use.
