    I would not use it either, but I can assure you the disposal would have been more fun!

    Anybody else with junk powder, please PM me and I will take it if possible.

    Ozzy rifle powder is made using cellulose from trees so I am returning the powder to its roots. Chuckle.
    Small quantities of rifle powder burnt in the open is not that impressive. Very large quantities are a different matter. Lake Denmark, Curtis Bay and Mulwalla to name a few.
    Regards GPM.
    PS, On a handloaders scale the death of J Bushnell Smith is a salutory lesson. Read the chapters on this in Hatchers Notebook if you can find a copy.
