I was at my gun range’s store today looking at their selection of smokeless powders. They have 3 pounds of Hodgdon 4895 in tin cans that I cannot even find photos or images of online. It looks like early Hodgdon packaging. I cannot tell if the cans are swelled from pressure on top or if the cans were made that way. They appear to be made that way. Would you try this powder? Here are some photos: I spoke to the manager about this powder and he said it belonged to another member and he has no idea of the history of the powder or how it was stored. I considered buying a can, but if the can top is popped up because of powder breakdown that would be a big “NO” on trying it. Each can had mini rust on the outside. I am curious as to when this may have been made. Hodgdon started making powders in 1947.
