    Dupont Canister

    Someone tossed this into the range trash, I had to got dumpster diving to get it out. Appropriately addressed to Southwest Shooters in Oklahoma City, I visited there often in the late 1970's to late 1980's. Labeled for Bulk Shotgun powder.

    Back when Alliant announced they were going to improve the Unique recipe I went to the next gun show and stocked up on it. I was not unhappy with any aspect of the original! Still have nearly 5 pounds of it left.

    All super cool stuff! Just wish I had a nice place to display such things. Most of my "nice" stuff is packed away or lying in the bottom of a drawer

    Some really old stuff in here. I'm almost embarrassed to post this near new can of 2400. $3.75 seems like a decent price…

    HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!

    So the question I have is whether the old ones (like the cube shaped Unique can above) are worth more unopened or are they a fire hazard that should be opened and emptied?
