Thanks, all. I suppose that's the real question: Even if the can is rotted away, but the powder hasn't turned to dust, what's the worst that can happen? I assume erratic pressure, but that's just an assumption on my part. I have nothing to back that up.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
