[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2654970, member: 74061"] I just watched a YouTube video (fortuneCookie45LC) an older gentleman with a pound Of the old WWII 20mm canon powder Bruce Hodgdon‘s War Surplus (Imr4831). It was the last of the surplus 4831 made in The 1940s and he bought it in 1971 which means the powder was 78years old. He loaded 48gr of powder per a load in the hornady 9th addition manual (pg433) and achieved the exact velocity predicted in the manual. avg 2317 fps ES 34 SD13. i wouldn’t be afraid to pickup old powder at an estate sale and use it. If the can was in good shape(no rust), and it passed the smell test. [/QUOTE]
