Thought about putting this in the ammo and reloading section but it probably is more chit chat.
We had a strong north wind Saturday and dust from the neighbors plowed field kept me from working outside on the ranch. Needed to do something useful, so I went inside and reloaded 45 shot shells for my Bond Snake Slayer. I am finishing up a canister that was labeled Hercules Unique that my father purchased sometime before 1965, maybe a coupe of years before.
Target accuracy is not necessary on shot shells from an average of 6 feet. The ones loaded a couple of years ago worked fine so I loaded up some that originally came from an old paper canister with the hand written label. I threw the old container away and now the remnants are stored in an old jelly jar. I bought a new pound of Unique from Alliant I think a few years ago, but have not opened it yet. If it lasts like the old stuff I will never use it all.
Anyone working with older powder?
