Burn up old powder for plinkers, or save?

[adamsredlines]

Say you have some random older powder that you dont have a specific use for. It'll work in a few calibers, but not your "go to".
Would you just burn through it for plinkers, or save it for future "might be better for a different caliber I dont own yet"?

Things like Trailboss, A1680, W748, RL7, IMR4350.

When I was a teenager there was a neighbor kid who would put it in some copper pipe, stick a fuse in it, and crimp the ends…

Plinker powder.

Except w748, used lots of it in 308w n few other calibers

I keep it for fire forming brass. Just make a 75% load and use some pulled or cheap bullets. There is that part of me that thinks (LTR) will be the magic dust needed for something some day

IMR4350 > H4350

I haven’t ever had any long enough to go bad if I have it I’m loading something

 

[adamsredlines]

Not saying theyre bad, just not something I chose for what Im doing. Most of them were from someone who passed and I ended up with a bunch of their reloading stuff. Ya don't turn that down, but what do you do with it?

I just trade powder off if it doesn’t work for me. Hell I traded powder I had and wasn’t going to use for a lbs of powder. I was happy at the end of the trade.
