I bought a bunch of misc junk from a guy a couple of years ago, and there was some reloading stuff in the mix. Included in this was some powder, and I liked the fact that some was in old tins and figured at worst I had some cool shelf display stuff. There is a red mini-keg of Herkules shotgun powder (which is cool in itself becuase Herkules was down the road from me) a small yellow tin of Herkules powder, a cardboard container of Winchester AA shotgun powder, and 2 unopened 1 pounds metail containers of IMR 3031.
So my general question is what are the odds any of this powder is any good? It's all dry and free flowing, and it all lights off with a flame. I've tried a few samples of each.
and my more specific question is are the unopened containers of 3031 any good?
My opinion at this point is they are questionable and not worth keeping (the powder anyway), but I'm not sure about the unopened stuff.
thanks!
