i tried fireing some old black powder 10 ga shells that were about 100-110 years old...the primer busted fine but the powder only sizzled like a fire cracker powder that you set afire with a match....there was all kind of differant colors of smoke coming from the barrels this went one for about 20 secounds i was scared to unbreach the gun finally did...i had a still rod that i use to knock outold stuck hulls in the barrels when i got it out of the barrel that powder still spewed for about 10 more secounds...scared the daylights out of me thought it would burn the barrel up before i got that powder knocked out of that barrel...so i aint tried fireing anymore old black powder loads lately....charlie
