New reloading powder that will expire???

    I don't think it can work - the powder must perform as expected, or else folks will stop buying it.

    If it was designed to have a "kill-on-time", seems to me that it would begin to fail at least in part, some time before.

    A water heater with a 7 year warranty will start to give trouble at 7 years ---by a couple of months either way .
    Would you bet your life on a powder that would do the same ?
    I can imagine the lawsuits that would be filed .

    Rumor

    Imagine this... A powder that loses it's effectiveness over time.
    A guy loads the powder and tosses the pistol cartridges in a corner for a few years. Digs out the cartridges and goes shooting. Powder is degrading as it is supposed to do. First shot is a squib because of powder and lodges in the barrel. Shooter does not realize this and fires a second round.....kaboom.... Who do you think the lawyers will be going after ??????????????

    The same rumor has been applied to primers.

    How much would be wasted cause it sat on the shelf for say 11 months. Know I would not buy it.

    Obama is going to make it so primers don't explode and so gunpowder doesn't burn... it will look like powder but really be just graphite.

    So you see, reloading will be legal, it will just be inert components.
