BP just lasts. I've had no trouble with year-old quickloads or powder kept in a good flask. I would never trust 777 that had been open for even a year except for practice.


In my experiences Pyrodex lasts poorly if exposed to atmospheric conditions. I have had trouble with it absorbing moisture, FTF.

This is the first I had heard of long-term stability issues with 777. Not encouraging, as I have a few lbs squirreled away for a rainy day.
