Looking good. Purchased maybe 1964
YUP,..I have done the same thing with some IMR4831 and when I tested it the ES was so low
I thought the labradar had failed.
Maybe two years after purchase. Never was a big pistol shooter but I kept the can because of the most unusual cap. Push to open, squeeze the sides to snap shut.Any idea when that can was emptied? Just curious.
Me too. And I don’t care how many chemists or industry experts chime in and say it’s fine.Personally.....it's a NO GO for me though.
just to comment my WWII surplus WAS VERY CLOSE TO current production powder when i did thisPowder is a bit more expensive than a few years ago but it isn't expensive enough for me to consider using vintage powder from rusted cans. The money you save can easily be lost on bullets, while trying to work things out. And there is always some safety concerns.
If it was me, I'd be spreading that stuff around the vegetable garden.
About the last time I made $3.50/hr pay.Some of my oldest cans.....when's the last time you paid $3.49 for a pound of powder?

Well that's not entirely correct. If a stable substance had been added to the powder then I'd agree. However the substance you're removing is in there due to a chemical/environmental reaction. It's impossible to say if a chemical/environmental reaction has occurred to the powder but I'd say the odds are it has.Think about this. All I accomplished was to separate a solid from another solid. There were no changes made to the powder chemistry.
