I used to reload about 10 years ago but stopped due to moving
and not having enough free time. Well, I just got back into it
and I still have some powder from years ago. I wasn't sure how it
would fair but it was always stored away from humidity. I have
three different types that were old, so I loaded six rounds of 38
with each powder to test. Each fired fine, but I noticed one
of them left several flakes of unburnt powder when fired.
Does any one have any experience with old powder that has
been stored for a long time? I think the first two powders are
fine, but I am wondering if I should just dispose of the one
that didn't burn completely.
