Nice stuff for collector's. I'd dispose of the powder in the can and keep it for a display or sell to a collector. Brass hulls, I'd clean and keep a few and give the rest away to friends or sell to collectors. WWII Remington and Winchester buckshot "guard" loads can still be found in unfired condition, disassemble and use the hulls. Unfired, un-primed hulls are also occasionally found and these are really nice to reload. I have 75 of these and they are all good for hunting purposes with black powder loads in vintage guns. Mag Tech are a possibility or Rocky Mountain Cartridge hulls are also good. Card and fiber wad stack sealed with DUCO cement works great. After washing, use a steel brush for copper tubing work to remove any glue residue and slightly roughen the inside of the hulls. Aids in the glued overshot card to be firmly held in place. Brass hulls and a vintage hammer gun +100 in style points! Unless you can locate a full length sizer die, after fire-forming they may work in only the gun they were fired in. I located a full length brass hull sizer die at a gun show years ago and it allows me to use my brass hulls in several different guns.
