My soon to be 93 years young uncle gave this to me Saturday.
Smells like new.

[Missionary]

You better be sure to thank him three different ways.

That was back in the good old days when a 1# can held 2#

I'd load it and use it up. ASsuming it looks and smells OK.

There's a shop in Salina that way up on a shelf sits a paper bag package of old Dupont #2 powder which I have a manual or two around that have data for some things. I've been resisting the urge to get up there and get it down and make an offer on it.

I loaded some IMR 4064 yesterday from an old metal can that shoots fine. Loaded some 6.5 Creedmoor with 85gr Sierra's.

The vast majority of my powder is in metal or cardboard cans. In 40 some years, I've only had one can go bad. I suppose thats both a sign that I had a LOT of powder at one point and that I don't shoot enough!

i got an 8lb. jug of Herco for 80$ OTD that way.

 

[richhodg66]

Herco is good stuff, almost as versatile as Unique.

 

[Missionary]

Herco was superb for 40 yard duck and pheasant loads.

 

[richhodg66]

13-14 grains behind just about any cast bullet is a nice load in the .45-70.

Doesn't it all come from blue and white metal cans?

 

[Gary]

All of it I have does.

 

[Axman]

Just weighed for the heck of it.
I think he used a little bit?
