Hey a Kindred Spirit...I swear I was born to host Myth Busters..love to check out theories and dispel myths :)

The engineer I work for is pretty rad, we may or may not have been experimenting with mixing powders at one point. And before anyone freaks out don't worry all the equipment I use is quadruple overproofed. You should NEVER mix powders and test it in a rifle.

I agree, to a point, I have a few rifles where finding a dozen banged up bullets would really suck, ha ha, I would roll the tip close and giver, but I also would not be concerned with a flier.

I'd clean the tips up and use them as foulers. During load development you will always need a few if you clean your rifle regularly.
