I've just reloaded some ammo with powder sitting in my store for ages - I've got all sorts including Nobel powders.
I collect the stuff!!!!
Does anyone else collect and use old powders, if not send it my way (at the original price :mrgreen: )

Re: Old powders
Yep I'm just looking at my old Nobel load tables to use some Rifle No 1 in 30-06.
Whilst trawling through my powder cabinets today I also came across a lb of Curtiss and Harvey No 2 Diamond Grain black powder.
Phwoaaaar!

Re: Old powders
Met a chap at the range a few weeks ago who was twittering on about mixing odds and ends of old powders and working up loads for them.
He was a few fingers short of a hand and I gave him a wide berth on the point.

Re: Old powders
They are cheap, aren't they!
I've even had a customer or two come back for more.
