oops powder mix

I remember setting up to shoot at the local range 4-5 years ago, and seeing the guy a couple of benches down touching off a round from his 7x57. The muzzle flash was impressive, so I asked him what powder he was using. [Thinking perhaps some older number without supressants in it] Imagine my Chagrin to hear him say "I accidentally mixed two pounds of powder together, so rather than waste it, I just put in a reduced load and am shooting it off for practice. Sure does make a fireball doesn't it?" After telling him what he should have done with that mixed powder, I packed up my stuff and moved to the other side of the barrier. This is the same joker who over the years managed to blow up three rifles....I wonder why? Regards, Eagleye.
 
Just when you are about to press the trigger the last thing you need on your mind is "I wonder whats gonna happen?" I would dump it.
 
On one side of a hypothetical scale put your eyesight, your facial features, your hearing and maybe even your life; on the other side put a $25.00 bottle of powder. No contest. Dump or burn it.
 
would you take a twenty dollar bet on a family members life?why take one on your own?..ya know i dont know if it would be ok or not..
but i would look at it as......i frigged up....it cost me 20 bucks to learn this lesson...

I mix mine in with my bucket of firestarter (sawdust + diesel) that I keep at the lake. It's not real high in entertainment value, though.
