From what I've seen, some powder will degrade to the point of showing red colours on a glass, looks like a rusty powder deposit, and some will get stinky, won't smell right, even kinda nasty. Just discovered I may have an issue with powder degradation in some old ammo I loaded in 1993, a couple of days ago. Bolt got stiff lift happening on it. That ammo had been out hunting a few times over the years, temp changes may have affected it over time. Time to get rid of those I guess, only about 30 of them left out of 100. I was contemplating trying something different anyway, same bullet, different, newer, more temp stable powder maybe.
