My brother and I had a 3/4" cannon back in the 60's, paid $2 for our 1st lb of FG Dupont and later $3.50 for Goex, packed it up in 69 to go in the USAF. Dug it out in 1990 for my son and the ammo box it was in still had fuse and about 1/2lb of the antique Goex. Dropped in 50gr and some of the original fuse and it fired fine.
