[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2820232, member: 12282"] In a modern plastic bottle, hard to tell, but I am less optimistic about those old cardboard and foil canisters. Why did they not use the "whiskey flask" style? I have about 5 of those cherished versions. I think they were IMR vintage -- repainted to flat black years ago, they are my go to for smaller lots of left over powder. I would not use it to get into ultra precision shooting. Load some practice or break-in ammo with it. That's what I use my 1980's powder for, till the bottle gets kind of low and then I use the rest as fertilizer. Aside: early reloading days, my dealer would weight out a lb of powder and throw it into a brown paper bag. Lunch variety. Much cheaper, like $5 in the 80's. You saved up the old cans for your next bulk powder purchase...... [/QUOTE]
