inheritance?

[Rich Coyle]

An old friend died and left me a bunch of loading stuff. Among them was one interesting can. Would you use this powder? It was filled up!

 

[LVJ76]

I would not risk it.

 

[338 dude]

If it was sealed by the manufacturer, I would give it a go, but there's no guarantee of what was actually put in there!

 

[BillLarson]

I would definitely try it..... I use 30 yr.old powders...... if it don,t smell funny cans not rusty,it,s not solidified....
Try it....

If I used H 110 I would use it. That can is marked quite well but you knew him and his reloading practices so I would go from there.
And I would like to extend my condolences.

 

[squeeeeze]

For the cost and being that H110 is readily available, it wouldn't be worth it to me to risk it. I do use H110 but would toss that can.

 

[HSmithTX]

Depends, I have known guys that I would trust but verify and guys that I would pour that out and light it without considering any other option.

Remember you asked if I would use it, not if you should use it!
If it passed the smell and sight test it would get a try but I'd run low book loads for the 45colt in the super red hawk. Keeping an eye on velocities it would get worked up to max.
If all looked right it would then be burned up in the 300blackout with supers!

Looks like he had access too some H110 in bulk and stored it in 1 lb metal cans , it's marked well , if you trusted your friend , trust his labeling , but start low and work up . Good Luck

H110 is everywhere for about $30. Its not a rare unattainable Retumbo, RL26 so me? I would use it as fertilizer. Reloading is a "zero risk" decision process and this is not IMO. If you have to close eyes with fingers crossed, nope.

 

[Rich Coyle]

Thanks, guys.

 

[HARPERC]

No!

It is a USED Can that someone filled with another powder to re-package it. Use it to start camp fires and not reloading.
What other goodies did you get?

 

[Rich Coyle]

"What other goodies did you get?"

Among the stuff was a left-handed six shooter belt with lots of loops for .44 or .45 cartridges marked 44". It's at least 2" wide and maybe 2 1/2". If someone sent me $25 to cover mailing I would give it to them. There are some "RayBan" shooting glasses also some "Simmons" shooting glasses with two or three lenses. Both look expensive. I have no use for either.

Stuff I want is several pounds of powder in their original containers and several one thousand boxes of primers. He must have been a friend of Ohlers because there are many, many sky screen "eyes" with wires.
