Is there any issue with the storing of loaded ammo over time? Thinking of issues like maybe the black powder will compress and "cake", changing the burn rate. I have lots of 577/500#2 ammo loaded, and to complicate the issue, they are duplex loads (15% 5744). I made sure to store them upright to hopefully get around any blending of the two powders, but am I missing anything? | ||

Boy, Jimmy, I wish I had an informed opinion to share, but I don't. If you are in Alberta, you are probably subject to temperature and humidity extremes. My thought is that I wouldn't want to store this for more than a year or two unless under very controlled conditions. Down here in New Mexico, with most days in single digits of humidity and 340 days of sunshine a year, I am not so concerned. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I have fired somkeless ammo from the 1920s and black powder ammo from the 1880s. I reload with powder that was priced at 3$ a pound. Everything seems to work well. _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||
