Default Older Norma Powder

I have had trouble finding Norma MRP in Maryland, USA. I found a gun store that had two cans that seemed rather old. The owner said they have been around for a long time but sealed in a cool dry place. I wrote Norma
about it, but no reply as of yet.

The can says Norma Magnum Rifle Powder. It has a label with a Product Number:93215 and another number on the label 679021. On the bottom of the can, it has the number 085051. Could you tell me if this is the same MRP you is currently sold as MRP and if you would think it would safe to use. If it isn't the same MRP, could you tell me the burning rate? I will using to load 300Remington Ultra Magnum with 190 grain Hornady bullets. Any info would be appreciated. I only paid 10 dollars for it so it won't be that much of a loss.

Also the powder is stick powder but a smaller stick than say H1000. It looks to be the size of IMR 4064 or so.

Thanks
BC
