The Win 748 of that era is the only powder I've had go bad. After the sniff test, pour some out on a white sheet of powder. Look for red/rust dust when your pour, clumps. If you see any type of cloud coming out it's going bad. Clumps indicates it's started breaking down. BE is more than likely has the longest shelf life, with the IMR 4227 next.
The 748 is what I used for W308 loads with the 125gr bullet. 748 has a lot of uses in rifles. The other powders are shotgun/handgun powders.
If you don't want it find someone that will and pass it on to a good home.
