I love to buy those old cans and display them around my shot, it's my moms fault she loves antiques.

A local gunshop owner recently gave me a full can he had found in a load of stuff he bought. He doesn't deal in reloading and was concerned about the condition. It was from a local dealer that has been closed for many years and was marked $2.55. Being a bit on the conservitive side I hate to waste powder so I'am burning it up 2 grains at the time in a 32 S&W Long.

Now I know why the weather is so lousy in the high plains.
You should know you never clean a shop in the winter.
That is worse than the groundhog seeing its shadow.

Have you gotten it all written down yet?
If not it will take you at least 6 months to find anything and then you will really be behind the 8 ball.

We have been in the mid 80's for a week, all the trees are bloomed out so we have only one more hard freeze so it can kill all the fruit.

Heck, that's not too old of can. Those ones with that little bitty cap are the old ones! I still have a couple of them!

I am currently shooting up some bullseye with the tiny screw caps. Next it will
be a can of dupont pistol powder #6 lot 19 that was my granddad's.
