Think about this cause i have know idea what it proved or what it means... The other day sitting around thinking I thought I would try an experiment...

question? I you were to fill a small container with hat tap water... then drop a small amount of powder into the water - what do think might happen? Let it sit inth water for 48 hours, what would happen? I can not tell you about anything other than T7. But what I expected was the the granuals to swell up and desinegrate into a black mud. It did not happen. I have noticed as I poured T7 in the toilet, dumping a load, forgetting to flush and come later the powder had collected itself into a small pile at the bottom on the pocelain. You could still see the individual graunuals. Well same thing happened with hot water and a teaspoon of powder. It sat in the container for 48 hours and inverted cone and all the time i could see the individual granuals... the water never blacken. I honestly believe if I had the time to allow the water to evaporate and the powder to dry everything would have been just fine. I know you can dry BP but I did not think you could dry subs...

Again I have know idea what I might have proved - if I did a prove anything - I just do not think T7 is as fragile as some people think it might be.

My shooting date has been moved to Monday - it ought to be interesting the gun went outside from the house with the outside temp -2 and has been outside all day. It will come back in around 4, well back into the garage, then the house forovernight...

will it shoot and will shoot well on Monday? - only time will tell. I am still believing it will.
