once opened, can i store in smaller containers.help need
I do it the other way. Purchase a one pound container to try. If it makes the cut. Buy in 8 pounders and keep filling up the one pounder. Rinse and repeat.i usually only buy 8lb. containers if i can.
but i like the convenience of 1lb containers on the bench.
so i buy 3- 8lb containers and 1 one LB container.
then i mix them all together and throw one of the jugs away.
Always liked the old rectangular steel cans IMR powders came in, make more efficient use of shelf space. Been thinking about buying some of these;
One pint paint cans
There's a quart can with a slightly larger opening: https://www.thecarycompany.com/f-style-oblong-steel-cans-30w14gHad access to those types of cans when before I retired. Personally, I don't care for the narrow mouth. Too hard to refill, without a funnel and that is a slow process. Much prefer the new wide mouth plastic bottles. Empty powder reservoir into a Dixie paper bowl, then bend the bowl to pour back into original container. BTW, the Dixie bowl is just the right height to fit under the dump spout of the RCBS Chargemaster powder dispenser.
And an explosive plug in the other end! Doesn’t sound very safe to everyone but us!I store a lot of my powder in little brass containers with lead stoppers.
