Unfortunately my plan to recycle all that free powder just doesn't pencil out in the ROI column.

My neighbor (that passed a while back) told me about
" unburned powder " a good while back. He was a
long time reloader, and we were discussing some
technique of loading, when I mentioned I used XXXX
so-and-so powder. Well first thing was " that leaves
unburned powder- I won't use it. . . "
I asked him if it was accurate in his guns or not and
he says " well. . . .yes. . . it is "

Isn't that why most of us reload? Better accuracy?
I have many cleaning patches myself
