I would first see if it was still good by smell, color and visual.

Then e-mail the company to see if they would have any data for you.

It actually works well as a 45 and 38 target powder but was discontinued around 1966 or 1967 I think. I never used it but one of the gentlemen that started me in reloading had old data on this
powder........ but I would try to verify this data before using it, since it is second hand to me.
