    I did that with some Green Dot! Looking in the powder magazine, “ what the heck is in that cardboard box in the back shelf.”? Well, 4 one pounders of Green Dot! Huh? Where the heck did that come from? Still don’t remembers! Oh well, scooooorrrrreeeee! Hahahaha! Merry Christmas to you.

    I'd be smiling for sure! Finding treasure you forgot you had is priceless.

    What I do when I get powder is to use a gummed address label, write the price and date purchased and stick it to the front of the container. When I open it (4-6 -8 lb jugs) I note the opened date when I transfer some of it to a 1lb can and mark it with a '1'. Next time I pour out a pound, it gets another mark. This way I know how many pounds remain. The red tags hanging down from the 2nd shelf is a listing of the powders in 1 lb containers in that row. I certainly did not start out this way but had to eventually come up with a system.

    I just found 4000 Wolf LR primers I had forgot about. Remember getting them from
    Powder Valley years ago. I remember them being around $70 for a case of 5000.
    Like I said, it was a long time ago.

    I found a wooden box in the garage with 20,000 or so primers of assorted varieties I forgot I put out there next to some surplus powder from Jeff Bartlett I bought a few years ago and haven't had time to play with yet.
