If you are hurting for .22 ammo and it's either use this stuff or not having anything to shoot,
You might pull some of the bullets and check the condition of the powder.
Like if it's dry, smells ok and if a very small amount burns like it should.
Then fire the empty cases to check if the priming is still good.
Just a cautionary thought.
