Powder ID

MfnLeadFarmer · Jan 10, 2021

Can anyone ID this powder? I'm pulling some unknown reman .45acp to reload and this powder was inside. I figure someone has seen it. It's shape and color might be a giveaway.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Flake for sure. I use bullseye (flake), but no idea if that's what it is.

Looks pretty close to Unique.

It's hard to ID powder by appearance alone, as there as just so many different varieties. You'd probably have to send it to a lab to absolutely know for sure. I wouldn't want to take the chance of reusing pull-down powder by guessing based on looks.

Here's a cool website. There's a drop down at the top left that lets you scroll through all the powders they have in their database. There are so many that look similar, you'd have to get good at measuring very small things under a magnifying glass.
