Thanks. Sorry for not getting back sooner.

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…

**John Wayne** · 03-06-2024, 07:29 PM

Not mine. It sold on ebay today for $525.00 with 14 bids.

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?

**jdsingleshot** · 12-20-2024, 09:17 PM

Here is the only tin I have that is more than 60 years old.

I don't suppose an unopened container of smokeless powder is a greater danger than a gallon can of gasoline kept in the garage for the lawn mower....????
