Haha yup properly stored we will have ta get back to ya on actual shelf life. But it might be my kids kids replying...
I have primers from 60's work as fine as any bought today. I have steel cans of powder still going too.
How do ya know if its bad? Well Primers wont work and powder will smell rancid. Cant really describe more. But smell your powders and they have a mostly plesant, chemical smell and if bad will NOT BE pleasant smelling. Also steel cans can rust and you will find a fine orange dust wafting out of the can if ya pour some out. If bad, just sprinkle on your lawn. Its usually largely nitrogen and your lawn will appreciate it.
