Powder ID Help

Could someone who owns Varget please measure the grain diameter with a dial caliper?

Is it .037"?

To add to my previous post...in years past, if you had a container with little green dots, or red dots or blue dots....you sorta knew where you were. Now, with powders from all over the world, with who knows what consistancy,and values..not to mention colors and diameters...if you do NOT HAVE the original container before you...and not several...DON'T try to guess the powder. Regard whatever took you there as a learning experience. Plow it into your garden. Your flowers will thank you. Along with your eyesight. JMHO

I'm just trying to figure out what's inside Hornady's TAP. It looks like 44.5grs of Varget.
