I am too, but he sent me a picture of powder after he pulled a bullet from a round that he had carried over a season and it had a considerable amount of dust in it. I wouldn't have believed him without the picture, but it was definetly powdered. Maybe he bought a bad lot of Retumbo that was "soft". Almost all military powder is now ball or spherical and this is probably due to A. Better metering in automated machines B. (possibly) degradation of powder in case when transported for an extended period of time in rough terrain. T.S.
