I've read that as long as old powder doesn't smell bad or covered in a red dust that it is probably still useable. I was given an old cardboard can (8 lb) of Hercules 2400 Rifle Powder. The can has been opened and there is about 1/4 of the powder gone. I have not been able to find any reloading data for rifles using this powder. I did find some 44 magnum loads but nothing for a rifle. My main concern is this powder has no smell at all. Should I try it or dispose of it? Really hate to throw away this much powder if there is nothing wrong with it. Any way to test the powder besides smell and being covered in a red dust? Thanks in advance.
