[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1677979, member: 385"] I'll bet your Blue Dot is just fine! Powder seems to last for decades when stored at a cool (even cold) temperature. What causes powder to degrade is hot temps, like storage in a non-temp controlled outbuilding. A non-temp controlled garage is as bad or worse. The military has stored its ammo in partly underground bunkers for many years. The powder for the 16" shells fired in Gulf War I from the battleship were vintage WWII; about 50 years old. Even in a temp controlled room, there will be hotter and colder spots. Usually nearer the floor is cooler in most homes. [/QUOTE]
