One man's junk, another man's treasure.

Post by bunkysdad »

I was given some powder today. The Hercules 2400 is full, and the Unique and red dot about half full. The price tag on the 2400 powder is 4.75! How long has it been for prices like that? I am guessing 70's? The cans look old, the powder inside looks good as new.

A buddy has a square can like yours and I know I went through many of the cylinder type ones. I started loading in the 70's so I'd say the square one was at least 10 years before/older than that.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

That square can is 60's , I got a bunch of them when I cleaned out that truckload of reloading gear in '08. Keep the can for a shelf decoration once it's empty :)
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
