kenny:
Could have been 70s or 80s manufacture. I have found from recent purchases that it will not bring (or cost) any more or less than standard target ammo.

Careful! That may look like 2400, but factories use non-cannister grade powders that may have different burning rates.

Do not expect the factory to be using the same powder available over the counter. As said above it may look the same but will definitely
have a different burn rate.
Good luck
