How old is too old?

[15meter]

I had an 8# 7828 can that had rusted and caused red dust in the powder.
No bad smell. No clumps. No signs of bad powder whatsoever.
I took the powder out of the can and poured it from one clean container to another in front of a slow blowing fan.
I kept pouring it back and forth in front of the fan until the powder came clean.

My method is better, wind power.

Think Green!

Finished this can today. Pretty sure it's WWII surplus.



Wish I could buy powder for $2.90.

If you are able to pull the trigger, you are not too old to use the powder.

Will gladly accept any reward. Had that that thought when you first posted, but there were several serious replies before I read it so I held off on replying.

I was using some Nobel 60 up until last year for revolver loads. Looking at photos of containers it was probably from the early 70s.

Today's dead soldier:



As far as I know this is WWII surplus that Hodgdon ran out of in 1979. Good for 22-250 plinker loads.

Goal for this year is to shoot up all the old and weird partial/full cans of powder I own.

Next up is H375. Now to find load data for something I shoot.

The Game is afoot!

And if you can see a Lyman T-mag below, I have no idea why. I included it in the original post by accident, deleted it, and when I post the edited posting the T-mag comes back. I can't see it when I'm editing, just when I hit save and look at the posting.

Got a full moon coming up?
