777 powder and Black Mag powder mixed
Hey Guys,
I did something stupid. I split a can of black mag with a friend and put mine in one of my old 777 cans. Well you guessed it, there was some
777 still in the can. Does anyone have any idea how to seperate it?
The 777 grains are a little larger.
Thanks,

Unless you find a strainer that's between the sizes of both granules, you are unfortunately S.O.L - unless you pour it on a table & separate it by hand.... which could take a long-long time.

I agree the powder is unusable. The formulations of the two are drastically different and what the combination would do is definately something I would not care to try. Sorry about that (maybe that is why the cans say do not put any other powder in this can).

Perhaps the best would be to dump it out.
Although, I personally would likely shoot it up with very light plinking loads.

I suppose this would not matter if you were shooting beer cans with it at 25 yards, using 40 grains or so and a round ball.....
