[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1236716, member: 77249"] Hodgdon Powder company started their business selling H-4831, A military surplus powder from WW II and Korea era. Around 1965-71, A group of guys where I worked used to order H-4831 in 100 lb. lots. It came in little paper plastic lined 1 lb. bags. Then the bags was in a cardboard tray of like 50 bags. Bags with wire folding closer like a bag of 8 O'clock coffee. The powder was .75 (Seventy Five) cents a pound. We put $1.00 a pound in the kitty to cover the powder and shipping. At that time it was shipped Freight on the railroad. And had to be picked up at the Depot. A guy that lived near the Depot would order it, And pick it up. Then we met in the parking lot after work to pick it up. At that time DuPont IMR 4350 was about $2.29 to $2.49 Just according to store you shopped. We was told at that time, If you open it, And it smells like Ether its still good. If it did not have the Ether smell, Get Rid of it. [/QUOTE]
