I've had Pyrodex that was several years old, and it shot fine! Even had some that was lumpy. Broke up the lumps and made some smoke. ;D

the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.

Had my Renegade at the range a couple months ago for the first time in 12 years. One of those "know-it-all" range lizards came over to tell me "you've really got to watch that Pyrodex, it ages quick, don't let it get over a year old". I didn't bother to tell him that the canister I was punching holes in the 100 yard bulls eye with was 12 years old :D. By the way, the new canister I bought shoots the same point of impact as the old stuff.

thanks for the feedback. I really want to stock up before the price goes crazy like the rest of our ammo. I plan to keep it unopened and in ammo cans.
