    You need to find some powder of the same vintage as those cases and projectiles for complete authenticity. (-:
    Is the rifle by any chance a sako or brno and wearing a weaver k4 post and wire reticle scope.?

    As it happens I have antique powder with the balance of the can from the last batch but I may use some fresh stuff in case it is another 40 years before they are fired.
