powder age

Hi, Here are a couple of Pic's old Powder still sealed in the can, also Also I loaded up 16 rounds for my M-1 using the old Alcan Primers and 8 rounds of 30'06 for the M-1 using the Re Box of Remington Primers. A friend of mine gave me the # 41 Primers a whole sleeve, he thought they were for his 9mm and .38 Speacial. all 24 rounds fired in the M-1.
