I must be lucky. A neighbor gave me a nice wooden box, The size of a 24 roll of toilet paper, full Black Powder stuff from a deceased brother. Bullets, powder, 209 primers, cleaning stuff, accessories! It all works-don't know how old the pellets/powder is. Killed a nice AL 8-pt out my back door(Country boy). Keep it cool and dry. My Rem 700 25-06 still shoots the 100 rds I loaded in 1996, left in my 1996 K5 Blazer that I drive less than 15 miles a year since I am not in a hunting club into .75" groups 4 yrs running.
