    Nice, stored right the powder will last a long time.

    I got a few pounds of 2400 off a friend of mine that bought an old cardboard barrel of it.

    You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    I believe the switch from DuPont to imr came in the late 80’s or so. I was just starting to learn to reload and always like the powder tins. Great colors
