Any way to ID factory powder?

[GardDog]

My #1 nephew asked me to remove the factory projectile and powder from some 7mm STW Remington 140 gr ammo that he had. The intention was to reload the brass with his choice of powder and projectile. Now I have a pile of powder that I can't ID. Any suggestions? Do ammo manufacturers use their own powder or sub out to powder manufacturers?

Sprinkel it on the lawn,it makes good fertilizer. Don't try to load it. Factories use blends and non canister grade powders,bad idea to try to mess around with it. Powder is $25 a pound,my life and limb are worth more to me.
