An older friend had a brother who passed. He had some reloading supplies he didn't know what to do with so gave me a few pounds of powder. They pass the look and smell test. They are all in the old metal cans (no rust). Some of them (IMR cans) are old enough that they still have the DuPont label. Here is the rundown
3 cans of 4198 (2 in the red IMR cans and one in the old yellow DuPont can)
2 cans of 3031 in the old DuPont cans
1 can of 4064 in the old DuPont can
3 cans of w760 in the old metal cans
Only one of the red cans of 4198 is still sealed so he used some out of all of these. Not being very familiar with these powders and seeing as how they all, with the exception of the 760, look almost identical, I am not sure if I am comfortable using them. The sealed can I trust but...
Any thoughts on telling them apart? About the only difference I can see is that the 4198 is a shade lighter than the 3031 and 4064. I am thinking they might need to be lawn food but I want to toss it out there in case someone knows some magic I don't.
If I were to use them, the only caliber I own that any of them would be suited for is .223.
Thanks for taking a look!
