I picked up some 38 special ammo for components, most of it looks old. The first few I break down I find this powder inside that looks like tiny Cheerios. Anyone recognize it or know what it is? That's a dime in the pic for contrast.

   Thanks, Dave

I don't see a picture.

Yeah I don’t see a picture either but when someone says “tiny Cheerios” I think Trailboss

Yep, a cowboy load powder.

That's the one guys!  Many thanks. 

@plumbshotsam I understand your curiosity about what kind of powder it is and agree with @JohnnyB'assessment.  However....

DON'T REUSE IT.

Identifying powder by appearance alone is risky business.

Sprinkle it on the grass.  The high nitrogen content makes it great fertilizer.

That's the one guys!  Many thanks.  I agree, and I'm not that brave. Actually bought the ammo for the cases and primers only. Thanks, again. My grass can use the help!!!

Put it out near the sidewalk, it will keep people from dropping cigarette butts on your lawn.  

Ok, it will keep them from dropping them a second time.

Thinking they would run also. Lol

well Mr.Missing hand" use it for fertilizer instead of your hand for fertilizer.
