the imr powders should be fine IF you can ask your dad if they have or have not been mixed or tampered with. As for that can of herculys toss it!

Ya dad bought them new and we would never mix!! The blue dot is actually IMR 4320 and that is the one I was wondering most about.
as long as it doesnt smell terrible, not clumpy or rusty, your good to go.
recently i had a pound of H4895 given to me by an old timer. it still had the tag on it that said it cost $3.15! shoots great.

As long as it has been stored where it did not get really hot or really cold and it has been kept sealed it should be good to go. I have been shooting some IMR 4895 that came from pulled down 1950s US military 30-06 ammo. It shoots within what different lot numbers of new IMR 4895 does.

I have a few cans of IMR powders like those and just used up some Blue Dot in one of the older cardboard containers I bought around 1983. They all still work just fine.
