Powder Identity

[lancetkenyon]

CCI primers are silver and have yellow fill. No way to tell the difference between CCI200 (LR) and CCI250 (LRM) by visual inspection. A CCI BR2 (LR bench rest) will have a small "B" on the cup.
Federal LR Mag primers (Fed 215 and Fed GM215M) are silver and will have purple fill.
Federal LR primers (Fed 210 and Fed GM210M) are silver and will have red fill.
Remington and Winchester are gold color with yellow fill. No way to tell the difference visually between Rem 9 1/2 LR and 9 1/2 LRM or Win WLR and WLRM.

I don't have any other primers to describe for you.

You do you but I wouldnt dump the powder. I'm probably too late but If you have the original cans then they are probably fine. He most likely marked any powder he mixed. As far as primers, shootem

Just to add people mixing powders has been a thing since the beginning. I wouldn't do it and really we have no reason to but I've heard of people blending and I've also heard of people stacking different powders in the case when they load.

Duplex loads is what they are called and they scare me to death. I would never try it!

Is there any website that describes and has actual pictures of what each powder is?

917 photos here. Some powder have more then one photo, because of different manufactures.
Example- Accurate #5 . Note- St. Marks in fl is now making Accurate powders. Much better quality control.

Old Accurate loading data can be very different then the new Hodgdon data. START LOW, WORK UP.

I haven't done anything yet and I will at least test the powder in the original cans. However, the can marked 38 super mix is of no use to me because he no longer had that pistol and I don't know of anyone that has one and I have No Idea what went in to that "mix"… so it will for sure be fire starter.

As far as the primers go, how much difference is between Large Rifle and Large Rifle Magnum? If they ARE Magnums, are they ok to use with Non-Magnum data???

Yes.
