I figure that on old timer will come along and read this and know the answer. I have an old Hodgdons 4895 powder 'tin', and wonder if it's really made of tin. The top and bottom are steel, but a magnet is not attracted to the sides. Did they use aluminum for things like powder tins back then?
If it is in fact tin, I though it would be nice to use the old 'tin' in some boolit alloy
