2 quick questions.

You mentioned the IMR you have has been around since your Dad was reloading. How long ago was that and how was it stored?

And, how good a shot are you? No disrespect intended but I have seen people shoot with my rifle/reloads, that are genuine .5 combos, and only just get their group on an A4 page at 100m. Basically, are you good enough to be able to tell if it's the ammo or you?

Hey,

I cannot say for certain how many years it has been sitting for, but it was in screw lid plastic containers and still smells fine according to dad. That is one thing i am weary of though as i’m sure you are implying that it could potentially have gone off or not be as reliable as it once was.
I am by no means a professional shooter, but the shots I took were off a very steady sandbag rest and felt good. I did notice i was flinching slighly at times but stopped to settle a bit before shooting. Definitely not going to be missing the paper at 100m though ,
