Y'all got me to thinking about a gun/loading room. I dug out all of my equipement and books on loading. All of this stuff is new in the box. I even went as far as buying gun powder for a loading operation in the 1980s. I don't know if the powder is till good..........heck, I'll just make some big fire crackers with it and buy some fresh stuff. I may have a lot of loading questions for you guys, if and/or when I get my production line in operation.

If you haven't broken the seal on that powder and the powder and primers were stored in a cool place (like a closet) it still may be good. I'm loading Hercules 2400 that came in metal square cans of about the 1960's with only a 25 fps loss on average compared with Alliant 2400...If nothing else...It makes good fertilizer for your lawn...How's that for "environmental" recycling??

I was hoping that you would tell me it was no good. That way I could have fun using it to make fire crackers or go fishing..........oops, I didn't say that! Censored

Bushy, how much do you want for that Rolex watch laying on your work bench? Off Topic

O K...The powder isn't any good...That should do it...

And that is a Seiko with the twelve marker missing...Got it at the Navy Exchange on one of my paid vacations to Sasebo about 10 years ago. But if you insist that it's a Rolex...I'll charge you accordingly... Laughing

My first Seiko, from the late 60s, had an alarm that rang like one of those round shaped wind up alarm clocks. People would laugh if they heard that now days. I've still got it.

I remember Sasebo!! Did you ever get south to Beppu? I enjoyed the hot springs, scenery and bars!! (Spent four years in the Navy).

I've wondered the Pacific from the Bering Sea to 10 miles short of Australia. From San Francisco to Hong Kong. From the age of 21 to 63. Many places I don't even remember if I was there or not...The results of inebriation and kimono chasing... Very Happy
