safe practice ..... not really!!
Whats not safe about putting a larger slower powder into a faster powder container? With 4350, you can use any max load of 4064 out there for anycartridge and not be over pressure.
I mean its good practice to toss it.But I woudln't go as far to say unsafe. The only situation I could see it being unsafe would be like H110 mixed with HP38 or unique. H110 needs alot of pressure. But for rifle anything loaded over 40KPSI would go boom.
I believe everyone that reloads knows or should know that mixing powder (accidentally or intentional) is BAD news. The man did the right thing and will keep the roof on his rifle and the gleam in his eye for it. Underloading (squib load)a rifle is just as dangerous as overloading one.
Leave the mixing to the chemist at the powder company and the shooter at the bench.
You did good... IMO.
IMO, it sounds as if you don't understand what he mixed or burn charts. Just my opinion.
