usafjohnRe: How long can a store powderTrevor,I'm new at this--so bear with me. I recently traded some of my home made fishing lures for a can(metal can) of IMR 4198 plus I bought another of the same. One can had been opened and the seal broken, the other sealed and tightly closed. The lot numbers on both cans: E94MA21. I'll venture 1994 was the manufacture date. I loaded my .375 Win and chronographed the loads for HRN 220 bullet at around 1950. So, I guess you can say about 21 years at least. Good luck ! |
