I have a few but don’t know about how it ages. With amount I shoot maybe go through a lb or so every 3 or 4 months? Guessing though.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Guy posted on the local trader site that he has Goex and want’s to trade it for some smokeless powder. Hope he knows what is going on with Goex.

Sticker shock today. Kind of expected it anyway with things that are going on. Percussion caps at the local store Winchester Mag #11. 12.99 per 100. Hornady balls have gone up about 4.00 per box. 54 cal now knocking on the door of 18.00 per 100. There was quit a bit of bullets on the shelves but no primers. The guy I talked to though said that Scheels just bought 1 mil worth of primers from Federal and they expected them in in the next 2 weeks.

Guess I'm lucky - my in line smoke pole (White .451 Whitetail) works quite well with T7. And it uses musket caps instead of regular caps - I still see plenty of both around my neighborhood. It's a deer killer for sure. I don't shoot it a bunch so a few pounds of T7 and a couple hundred caps and I'm good. Still folks out there casting lead boolits too.
