Alcan 7?

[Tropicalmulch]

I recently puchased a used shotgun reloading setup. In that setup is two old unopened cans 8 oz ea. Of alcan 7 powder both made in sweeden for smith and wesson.  As far as i can tell this powder is about 40 years old. So my question is what would you do with this stuff? Is there some sort of collector value? Is it safe to load with? Also with the lot i puchased is some 28ga components (100 primed never loaded hulls from Remington,  some wads and around 500 fired hulls). If anyone is interested in the 28ga stuff let me know and we can trade components or make a deal of some sort. Oh and theres a book "Scherer on skeet" signed by Scherer in 1987. Ive never heard of the guy but my google search indicates that he was good. Any imput is appreciated I've never reloaded for shotguns but looking forward to it

Throw away the powder keep the cans. You can fertilize your trees with it. Cans are collectible. And the most important question and is always left out when somebody lists something here is: where are located, LOL!
