It's not commercial powder. You can't duplicate it. Pull the bullets by shooting. Load the heavier bullets using published loads.

Use the powder for fertilizer. You don't know what it is.

agree should shoot then reload, powders are industry kept secrets and its safer to not get yourself in trouble.

Factory loads use a blended bulk powder that is not available in canister form to the public. The ammo companies won't release any information on the powder used or the blend.
