Curious about something - I figure one of the experienced reloading gurus here might have some insight.
Broke a powder hopper a while back, and spilled maybe 1/8 - 1/4lb of Titegroup. It was mostly contained in a shoebox when I removed the powder dump, thrown in a small cardboard box until I got around to tossing it (the stuff that hit the bench or press is long since gone, this is 'uncontaminated'.
Doing some spring cleaning, realized I never threw it away. What are the chances this powder is still usable? Goes without saying I wouldn't use it for ammo that 'really matters', but is it wrecked, or worth trying under some lead HBWC's for .38 plinking rounds? (I have an obnoxious amount of a few different wadcutters. Ammo cans full.)
Definitely hasn't been airtight, and I live about 500 yards from the ocean, so it is humid on occasion.
