I recently bought a large lot of reloading equipment. With it came 4 cans of reloader no. 7 powder. They are all sealed. Can any forum member tell me the approximate age of these? It seems like they were stored well.I have a lot of older reloading manuals that I can refer to if I know how old this powder is. Thanks in advance for any help, mike

Late 60s through eearly 70s and then discontinued for some years before a welcome return.  I have a full case of these.  My old Sako L46 heavy barrel loves this powder and 40gn VMax bullets

Thanks. That fits in with the age of most of the reloading equipment.

As ten mile stated 60’s to early 70’s I have not seen one of those cans in a while I have an old Hercules Bullseye can that is paper and yellow I used the powder about 15 years ago.
