Default RE: Pyrodex Powder Life Expectancy

ORIGINAL: paco97

I was given a bottle of pyrodex powder from a friend whose husband died 8 years ago. Assuming this has never gotten wet, do you think it is still good? I don't think I will use it to hunt, but maybe as plinking ammo.
As long as the powder container was kept tightly closed, in a relatively cool, dry environment, it should be OK. When the powder starts to clump up, it may be suspect. But I've got some Pyrodex that is a lot older than that, and it still shoots as it should.....
