My guess is that his has been asked before but here goes. I have some 25 year old Swiss. It has been stored in a cool (AC) dark, moisture free environment. It is in the orgignal sealed plastic bottles. Anyone has some data as to how long I can expect to be able to store this powder without degradation ... Thanks to all | ||

Twenty five year old powder of any type, and especially black powder, is like brand new to me. Black powder, being a mechanical combination of ingredients, literally, Never goes bad. How long can you store it? It will be perfect for a minimum of 100 years after you die. That should give you an idea of how long it is good. If you aren't convinced, send it all to me for testing. | |||

Ha, ok, you're on. Seriously though, civil war powder is still good; and I personally have some duPont 4f in the 8 oz oval can, from the 1930s; it actually works better. | |||

I still use DuPont Black 2f from an old steel keg and it works perfectly. Shoot straight, shoot often. Matt | |||
