I have a few pounds of vintage H-4831; it came in paper bags back in the '60's.
When the paper bags started breaking down, I transfered the powder to empty powder containers, appropriately labeled with a Magic Marker.
It smells good, no brown dust, shoots great. I think it may be a tad slower than current H-4831.

at one time it could be bought in a metal big cannister holding like 50pounds, pull down powder when hodgden started out.
I have smelled that WWII powder and if stored properly it still works.
