Just finished purging my Lyman 45 of its 60-year-old load of Lyman Ideal, that blacker-than-night goop that was state-of-art when we bought the press around 1960.
I've had two unused and unopened sticks of 50/50 Alox/Beeswax that I bought from DAR about 30 years ago. I was going to load a stick into the cleaned 45 and then said to myself, "I don't want to do this cleanout again. Could this 50/50 possibly have gone bad since I bought it?"
The DAR 50/50 looks, feels and smells like what the label says, and is easy to indent with the fingernail. I can't imagine it wouldn't still be good, but it never hurts to ask.
