I've been reloading our empty shotgun shells for a few years now for clay shooting. This time though I accidentally topped up the powder hopper with number 9 shot. I realized the mistake right away and I tried to take out as much shot as I could hoping that I could salvage it without getting much gunpowder in it. So now when I got everything straightened out the powder was purely just powder but the shot hopper had a few flakes of gunpowder in it. I reloaded anyways not thinking much of it but now im wondering if this is even safe to shoot.
Sparknotes: There are a few flakes of powder mixed in with the shot, is it still safe to shoot?
