[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2509308, member: 121677"] I bought a bunch of powder from an estate back in the late 90's, nearly 300 pounds in total. It was kind of a trip to have that much powder and a couple hundred thousand primers in the back seat of my truck going 100 miles home, would have been an impressive fire if things went wrong.... Cardboard kegs of Bullseye and Unique and WW296 etc, the owner shot everything from handguns to rifles and shotguns and bought big, the smallest containers were 8 pounders. Some of the kegs dated back to the 60's and 70's, and I repackaged most of it into current (at the time) plastic jugs. I sold probably 25% of it and have shot nearly all of the rest since, I still have probably 15 pounds of Bullseye left from that buy and it shoots great, I'd have to look at the keg to see if it was 60's or 70's but at any rate it is old. I thought the keg was cool so I have been using it to store 20ga hulls since I repackaged the powder. Keep it cool and dry and I think it will last another 40-50 years, but I do give it a look and smell each time before I use it. [/QUOTE]
