   Greetings Ingrid 51, There are some good ones left. It is the finding them that is the problem. They often need some major cleaning before you see what the barrel is like. Even the rough barrels can...

   Greetings All, No need to burn it. Rifle powder is high in nitrogen so it is excellent fertilizer. Just spread it thin and water it in. I believe that the Aussie powder is made out of gum trees so...

   Greetings Steverusty, The brown discolouration is usually a sign that the powder has degraded. As this is on the surface it is, as you suspected, likely due to exposure to the air. The powder may be...
