Identifying a powder help

It boggles my mind that yall are trying to guess what powder this is. Ive seen the same powder from different lots look different. Posts like this need deleted before somebody gets hurt

Found 2 with no powder in them. Going to pull bullets dump powder (if there) and use my own powder. Am I going to run into a problem if they where factory crimped when I go to reinstall bullet .

It's a flattened ball powder. There's a bunch of different powder that look exactly like this.

Take your "I don't like shooting other people's reloads" to heart, and toss either the powder, or, if you don't want to break them down, the loads. You're never (IMO) going to positively ID the powder from appearance.

Looks like Win-748 to me...
Which would be about perfect for 30-30 loads with 150-170 gr bullets.
Just my opinion.

There's nooooooo way I would chance it.... Break them down and reuse the components....

Or move it and start a new section labeled "Play stupid games win stupid prizes"

Dispose of it safely. Powder can not be identified by looking at it.

I Aquired a bunch of 30/30 reloads and all the powders he had in his shop. After looking at all the different powders. It resembles winchester 296 which he had there . I don't like shooting other people's reloads. So when I took a couple of these a part there is 29grains of powder in each one. With a 170gr bullet. I can't find in any of my books where this is safe load for this round. Is there other powders that could look like this that it might be.
