[QUOTE="Allen, post: 330203, member: 389"] So long as it's stored properly (not exposed to moisture or excess heat), it should be just fine. I've shot ammo that was well over 80 years old, but haven't used any powder for reloading of such age. I'd think the worst thing you would get would be less bang for a given load, or inconsistent performance. I've seen old, paper reloaded shotgun shells barely push the bb's out the end of the barrel. That's a little disconcerting when there's a possibility of something (wad + bb's) still being in the barrel, but I don't know how aging of powder would create the opposite, as in a higher chamber pressure.
