    Do I trust 30+ year old powder? Yes. I'm still using Hercules powders from the 70s, DuPont IMR powders from early 80s, and surplus 4831 that was already old 50 years ago.

    The only can of powder I ever had a problem with was an old square box can of Bullseye™, probably from the late 1950s, that was "dead" by the mid 1990s. It had been moved several times, and storage of the half-full can was spotty at best, so I wasn't too surprised. I was surprised, however, that it displayed no unusual odor.
