I bought about 20 pounds, decades ago, when I was in the Air Force, and shot a bit of skeet.

It would work for the 20 gauge, and for light loads in the 12 gauge.

Don't shoot skeet anymore, but I am STILL loading the left over powder in 9mm, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .45 Colt. My dwindling supply, will likely last me for my lifetime. Don't shoot the volumes I used to.

The higher up officers at Randolph Field, had some contacts in the industry, and I believe we paid right at $ 0.60 per pound. They brought it to the base in the Citation jets, used by the General officers.

Needless to say, a great deal.

The kegs of Green Dot, are right at 43 years old, so much for smokeless powder going bad.
