"Bucketing" or mixing powder from different lots. What say yee?

Old Man 257,
What was the disastrous result? Confirm you just mixed different lots of the same type powder? I can't think of how a bad thing could come of this. Please let us know what happened.
Thanks,
Rex

I quit using rl 22 because I saw some very large differences between lot#....
 
I do it all the time. Keeps from having to re-work loads due to variations in lot to lot. Some powders are more inconsistant than others lot to lot. Why wonder? If I get 3-5 one pounders, put all in clean bucket, stir up by hand and mix thorougly, then pour back in 1 lb. bottles and label/date. I fill bottles to top to exclude air. End up with several full and one partial bottle. Work out of partial bottle first.
just your bare hand and does powder stick to you and in the bucket
