Getting back into reloading again, I have some old rifle, shotgun, and handgun powder (H110, H380, surplus 4831, IMR's, etc) and I was wondering if it is still good to use. Some of it is from the 1960's-1980's. (The H4831 had a price tag of $1.89/lb.)
It was stored in a non-heated storage building. It was cool and dry, but at times, it was very cold (I live in Colorado).
Is it still safe and usable? If usable, will the powder loose anything? What?
I've retired and its been fun getting back into reloading, something that I really enjoy doing. I always shot and saved all my brass but I don't want to pay the price of store bought ammo and I have a lot of brass to reload.
Thank you for you help.
