    I seem to have 4lbs of Vihtavuori N140 that I do not need. The powder is at least 5 years old and I have NO idea if its good or bad. It has been stored inside so I am guessing its ok but its up to you to decide.

    Instead of writing my name in the yard with it and setting it on fire maybe someone here would have a good use for it.

    I don't want anything in return but it needs to be picked up in Columbia.

    140 does a pretty good job with the Sierra 69's...that used to be the AMU's pet load: 25 grains behind the 69...very hot, but it shot knotholes.

    or you can just toss it in your yard (as fertilizer) without setting it on fire.

    That is a good idea... not as entertaining but a good idea nonetheless:). Hopefully someone has some use for it. It looks to be to be worth almost $100.

    Use it and load some rounds. 5 years old is nothing really. Powder if stored in cool dry places lasts many many more than 5 years. I've used powder stored by my grandad in his basement thats over 25 years old.
