was wondering if it would hurt to have a couple in my bottle American
Pioneer powder to fight of mostiure,havent had a problem yet just am
curious if it would hurt anything!

I think some mentioned awhile back that their cannister of powder contain a silica pack - can not remember if it was APP Black Mag or what - or was it some one was putting them in to stop the clumping.
I use to shoot the old stuff "Clean Shot" and after awhile it would clump.

RE: Silica packs!
I store my powder in gasket sealing20MM ammunition cans and my caps and primers in9MMcansand also inside I keep Hydrosorbent Silica Packs that are reuseable. About once every4-6 months I exchange a small Silica pack in the ammunition can.
Then I place the silica pack in the oven to dry them back out for re-use. When cooled, I vacuum pack them until I need to use one.
I've been storing powders like this for decades.
I don't put a silica pack inside the powder container as I don't want the silica pack to draw moisture inside the container if for some reason the lid fails. I want to collect any moisture prior to getting inside the powder container.
