damn... somebody fucked up on this stuff, if you keep powder in a cool dry place it will last a long time.
I've loaded Hercules 2400 that my dad had bought in the 1960s and had no issues, only problem I've had was a very old 1 pound metal can of IMR 4350 that had gone bad. there was rust spots on the outside, the powder had that rusty brown color and smelled strange. I dumped it out on the yard. |

What happens if you have a bad batch of powder stored with 100+ lbs of other powder?
The only IMR powder I have is 4064 and 4895. It currently isn't stored with the WC860, WC868 and WC872. |
