[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 1070581, member: 6064"] Ninefan, someone has tried this...Alliant powder. I took a tour of their plant ( it used to be Dupont and before that I'm not sure) and one of the things they showed us was a batch of the ORIGINAL, made in 1902 Unique powder. It is stored UNDERWATER. They say when ever they need to test a new lot that the comosition is changed on against the old they just get some out, dry it in a vacume kiln to the propper moisture content and test away. There was an artice about Unique or bullseye, I forget which, that was left in the hopper under flourecent lights that had gone bad, and it was recomended to not leve these powders in the hopper if you had flourecent lights in the area. It degraded something in the powder and it gave consistent squib loads, but that was YEARS ago.....70's??? [/QUOTE]
