Meal powder or coarse powder

I have a chance to get a 50# keg of meal BP or a 50# keg of 4FA Bp at what I consider a good price. Would it be better to get the meal BP and wet and screen or corn some for larger size or better to get the larger size and mill some for smaller size. I think the milling would be less of a hassle. If the 4FA is milled to a 3FG or smaller will it burn faster than the 4FA since it is smaller size. Any and all help/opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Either!

 

Re-press most of it, make pucks and re-corn it to get powders from cannon to 4FA All have their uses but 50 pounds of one grade will be an issue.

 

Meal is superb for rockets.

 

Largely what mix of grades you have determines what you can make easily, or your intended product governs what powder grades you need in what proportions
