All,
My friends at the ODT, please help in clearing the understanding on this misconception or misunderstanding. I have been entertaining the idea of reloading. It was brought to my attention by a friend of a friend that the gunpowder being sold these days is only good for a 3-year shelf life before being unusabe. This was news to me that this was the case and I have been doing my research with no indication that the guberment was mandating that gunpowder providers sell gunpowder that expires in three years. My research has stated that gunpowder has an infinite amount of shelf life based on sealed cans that are not damaged and allowed to be contaminated by humidity or water.
My brothers here at ODT, please provide any concrete information with sources or web cites on this subject as it would be helpful to me and the individual that stated that this was a fact. I was looking at the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for many smokeless powder and did not find shelf life mentioned. I may have looked over it.
I appreciate it and GOD bless. Hope the atheist are not offended, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
