Powder in SDB Hopper

[Ocaladude]

Hey Guys, I loaded my SDB hopper 2/3rd's full of CFE Pistol and after loading 200-300 rounds of 45 ACP I still have about 1.5" left in the hopper. I have the setting for drop and COL marked on tape on the side. If I'm not going to load any more until a week from now, is it ok to leave the powder there? It's inside the house in FL with A/C set at 78 degrees. Thanks for your experienced advice! vann

No, I wouldn't. You will end up acid etching the hopper on the measure.
