I believe you are correct on this. As I understand, the "blended" non canister powders are "closed bomb" tested to achieve the best pressure/velocity ratios. So in a sense these folks (the ammunition manufactures) have a special "one of" powders. It may look like what we buy at the LGS...but it ain't the same...
