[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1945622, member: 57533"] Powder can deteriorate by how it is stored & usually you can tell if it is going/gone off by the colour & smell, if its old it turns a rusty colour & the smell gets quite strong. You should have batch numbers on the bottles anyway but obviously you can tell one is AT LEAST 10 years older than the other, not neccasarilly a bad thing if its been stored correctly but you need to do the check before dumping. You can get slight variations in velocities between batches as well. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/reloading-education/safety/gunpowder-stability[/URL] [/QUOTE]
