So... I was sitting around thinking (always a dangerous thing!) and thought this question:
First, let me say that I don't currently reload and even if I did, I wouldn't try something like this anyway without proper documentation, etc.. Also, I'm definitely not recommending or requesting anyone to try it out...
so.. the question: What would happen if you mixed two powders together... say a handgun or shotgun powder (fast, I'm assuming) with a slow burning powder (rifle) for your rifle cartridges? I imagine that getting a consistent mix would be near impossible unless you did it cartridge by cartridge... and then, what if you filled the cartridge first with the fast then the slow on top of that? (I guess it would get mixed up anyway unless you made some way to keep them separate.)
