Hey ODTers, came across this 8lb keg in my stash of stuff and CANNOT for the life of me remember what it is… Cardboard cylinder with UN059 it’s a flake like shot shell/pistol powder. Im thinking of putting together some powder puff loads with 200 grain swc’s for the 1911 with this stuff. I will start very low and work up of course. Back when I got this I was really into Unique powder but this does not have the same appearance of the last bit of my unique I have laying around… Any ideas?

Here is a request for scientific purposes: Please film and post a lite and then burning three foot long thin trail of this so we may all observe the burning characteristics. 
It will fertilize the garden in spring if need be. It’s not that difficult to identify its usability with some temperature and burn tests before doing some very minor charges and looking for signs of pressure and temperature indicators on brass…
