What to do with that last few oz of powder?

[mac1911]

I went through the cabinet and realized I have several 1lb bottles with not enough to load in any decent number of reloads. One example
I have 800 grains of VV N150
Which I was using for 7.5 swiss
Do I load up some plinking ammo ?
I also have some 400-600 grains left of other powders.
Need to find that sweet spot so I only have sprinkles left.

Make a paper football, fill with powder, insert visco fuse, wrap in duct tape.

You could mix it with new powder (of the same kind). If you are going to stop using those powders, do what Whatluck mentioned. Make a video.

Old pill/ med bottles.
Not that I've ever done that.....................

Educate someone who's afraid due to ignorance. Make a long thin line of powder and light it. Non-gun people are surprised it just burns like match head material. It's also fun to have races pitting lines of powder against each other in a 2 line race. The faster burning powders really are faster.

I'm a cheap bastard. If I could get 8 or 10 rounds out of it then why not load them up?

Mixmaster rifle postal match. 10 shots, no duplicate loads. Each cartridge must be a different powder and/or projectile combination. That way you can use those odd projectiles too. Assuming that you have multiple appropriate powders for a given caliber. Heck, switch rifles on the same target to enable using more combos.

Get a large hydrogen-filled balloon, some very slow fuze material...

Keep it in case you have any deep wounds. Use it to cauterize them.

it's what i do when nearing the end. why would i stop and leave a miniscule bit in a container?

this too will work!

I should become an Antifa medic and perform that maneuver on anyone who gets a minor laceration while rioting. It would be hilarious.

I found a gallon container of the corner of the reloading room a couple days ago. Thought it had some rolls of solder in it. Low and behold it’s a gallon of mixed powder.
I’m going to do the old sprinkle on the lawn.

Darn, 800 grains? Keep reloading. I don't dispose of remnants until I'm down to less than 10 grains or so for rifle and 2 grains for pistol.
Even this gets used in something, but I won't reveal my proprietary formulas...

I already do that at almost every cmp match!

Yeah, such a postal match would be named the 'McScrooge Match'.

LOL

After you sprinkle - toss a match at it.
Video please.

Which leads into - take it to a liberal neighbor's lawn - spell out "TRUMP 2020" with it - and then throw the match.

Maybe we should have a pass the rifle to your right every 5 shots match!

Smokeless powder is painfully boring unconfined in low volume.
