Haven't reloaded for about 6 months and decided today would be a good day to pull the handle. I was almost out of my first 1lb bottle of Universal Clays so I retrieved another and opened it up, ready to pour in. Much to my surprise the new container of powder had a purplish tint and also a much stronger odor. Not sure what to do, I opened a third container and then also a 4lb jug. Both the 4lb and the second one had the same characteristics while the third and the original looked the same. Both of these had less odor and more of a grayish/brown color. Upon inspecting the bottles, it looks like the purplish ones were from '16 while the others were from '15.
Has anyone had a similar issue? Should I be worried about the different characteristics? I think I will load a couple and shoot those before I begin stockpiling.
