Indefinitely is the answer
I have unique that is 60 + years old. Stores better in the older tins than modern plates tic
Unless it is clumpy or smells bad it is good to go

I have never found any variation with 748 or 760

I have just finished this in loads for my 243. Got it for $20 about 4 yrs ago and sat on it. Tried a couple of calibres, 243 loves it goats not so much. I'm guessing its 60yrs or so. On the back, bottom left of pic, it has R33/9/26. I'm not game to say that means 26 Sept 1933 but hey. @grandpamac might know lol

Greetings All,
I don't know when Nobels Rifle No1 but they started making smokeless in the 1800's. 60 years ago would be a good guess. The can would be at least 40 years old.
