Which cartridges would you like to reload with it? I have several old editions of the Lyman / Ideal manuals that list loads for Dupont #6. (I have a bit of it too and have used it to load some "vintage" reloads for a Colt double action revolver in .32-20 WCF.)
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Just some old power I got.
Still usable with listed data for specific cartridges ...
