OK
I have been reloading for many many years and have never had a problem with powder deteriorating.

I was talking to a local business man that I have know for many years about our current goobermint situation.
We started talking about reloading and he brought up that there was a Goobermint mandate that was put in place that the powder manufactures we required to put additives in the powders to make them break down after a certain amount of time.

This would seem very dangerous to me to have powders intentionally change as time go's on due to the circumstances and dynamics of how Ammo works.
But our Goobermint never thinks of that stuff when they make their laws and mandates up.
Just like letting Tire manufactures have tires start failing after 3 years for trailer tires and 5 years for car and truck tires. Talk about putting peoples lives in danger.

Has anyone on the Fire heard of any of this about powders.
Doesn't seem right to me.

This is discussed in this current thread. Check out Denton's link.

Powder breakdown

Thank you for the education on old powders. I did not know about the corrosion and what caused it. I have some very old ammo that looks just like what Denton showed. Be getin rid of that stuff shortly.

my question is about the new powders that we buy right now.
Are the manufacturer's making the new powders break down in a year or so intentionally.
Thanks again for the learnin.

No, they are not. Think of the liability that would expose them to.

That is my thought as well
Thanks again for te above link and help.
