    People are buying, swapping, opened cans of powder all the time. Yes, there is some risk. That is why I conducted that test. Is it ideal? Well no it isn't its a very old method, but it is indicative.

    Combine that with some basic, conservative load testing and majority of the risk is mitigated.

    I posted the info for those interested, I wasn't promoting it. Although I can understood might think I was.

    But if you are given, buy or swap powder, wouldn't that test be a sensible addition to just loading a few up?

    Horses for courses. Life is full of risk.

    Some people are so conservative I'm amazed they even drive a car. Or buy takeaway for fear of food poisoning.

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
