I just obtained a new 8 pound jug of Hodgdon Titegroup powder as a part of a trade for an old 6.5MM Carcano rifle.
I have read a lot about this powder and look forward to experimenting with it in many of my revolver loads.
My question is this. Since this powder requires smaller quantities per load than most others and since I have 8 pounds of it, it will likely last for a very long time. Once I break the seal, should I pour a quantity of it in another well labeled container and then re-seal the jug as best I can, or should I just use it from the jug as needed, keep it tightly capped and not worry about it?
It will probably be several years before I shoot up 8 pounds, given the other powders that I also like to use.
Thanks for all advice.
