Re: Is this powder still good?

Yes to both. Powder gets weaker as it deteriorates so do primers. I store both my powder and primers in an uncontrolled workshop and have never had a problem.

Check the powder give it the sniff test - - - does it have an acrid odor? If so don't use it. Give it the eyeball test - - - does it have a rusty look? If so don't use it. Give it the shoot test - - - load a couple of rounds and test fire them. Does it go boom and kick like it should? Use it.
