How old is your oldest powder?
Have you ever had powder go bad and why?
My oldest was some Hercules 2400, probably from the 70s or 80s in the metal can. It loaded up just fine. Shoots fine. Just finished the last of it in some 44 mag. It came from Grandpas stuff.
I also have another 8lb keg of WIN-231 probably from the late 90s.
When powder goes bad, supposedly it starts to smell like rotten eggs. (Never experienced this)
As far as i know, as long as you keep the containers tight and store out of heat (basement) powder will probably outlive us.
