    Rifle powder????

    I have two 1# cans of Dupont smokeless rifle powder one orange and one green. . The cans are metal but there are no number references on the cans. They are quite old with some rust around the bottom. Other than the rust they are in really good shape. I was wondering if the color of the can indicated what it might be used for?

    Without a product number on them, I wouldn't even consider loading with it.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    If you're taking the photos with your phone, try reducing the resolution, I think there is a limit on file size you can upload.

    Smaller/ lower resolution photo may upload.

    Hopefully, anyway.
