I inherited some supplies from my dad's neighbor. A can of IMR4895 still has the price tag on it..... $3.95. I think it's from the 1970s. Still shoots fine. Keep it sealed and it will last a loooong time.

Just a curiosity and maybe a benefit to others, but I live in a very moist, humid climate. I wonder if packaged desicant can be placed in container without any effect on the powder? Any thoughts?

This past year I acquired 2 15lb containers of Win AA452 from a fellow deputy who's dad passed away. 1 was opened, the other not. They both have a price tag of $25!!!! The opened one shoots great!!!!! They are more than likely from the early to mid 70's.
