Old powder Cans

Several months ago, my good buddy Andy got a bunch of reloading supplies from the estate of one of his nephew's family members. None of them reload, so my buddy got it all, and we split things up based on who needed what, you just can't beat having a good fiend like that. I got two full unopened cans of 700X, and two of the old Alliant canisters, one each of Blue Dot and Red Dot, neither of which had ever been opened. All powders had been properly stored and appear to be as good as the day they were made.

Good for you - they should load and shoot just fine.

Found an old 2400 tin I have been wanting for a long time, not perfect but in excellent condition. I would like to find one of the old Reloader#7 paper canisters someday.

Nice condition on that tin. I have square tins like that in Reloader 7, 11 & 21. By paper do you mean cardboard cylinder or the old paper label tin? I have the old paper label tins in 2400, Hivel2, Unique and others

The cardboard cylinders like the Blue & Red dot contains I have above, the square painted metal tin for Reloader #7 would be fine also. 2400 and Reloader #7 are two of my favorite powders.

I have a few as well

Those are nice, many look to be in pristine condition. Most of the ones I have seen for sale are in pretty rough shape. I was lucky to get the one I did.

Ever now and then you find one that is actually useful....

Thats pretty cool, I'm not surprised that would be something you would make.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]316615 Here are some old ones on the shelves at the top of some old rifles.

I have something like 5 unopened cans of Unique. I am currently using my last can of 2400 from the 1970's. Just opened it. The price is still on the top.
