Powders for old guns?

Amen to chucking the old powder and getting a new can. Since it came from a garage sale, you have absolutely no idea of what's in that can!!!! The previous owner could have dumped Bullseye in it for all you know. I know of several guns blown up with "garage sale" powder that wasn't what was listed on the original can label. Not worth the risk to you or the gun...
