Smell them to make sure its still good. Good smell is solvent. Bad is acidic, like vinegar.

Pour some into a dish and look for a reddish dust. If you found none, its still good.

If these are the metal cans (I'm sure they are), it will keep much longer than 20 years.

If you don't want it, I will buy it from you. I had about 1/4 can left and accidently poured some WW 680 into it. I'm thinking of sifting but havent found good screens. 4227 is some fine IMR, both in grain size and application. Its cherry for my Hornet. .75" groups at 100 yards with full power, compressed loads.
