Powder that old makes nice fizzy fire starter, or fertilizer for your lawn...

Old wives’ tale. Nitrogen fixed in nitrocellulose isn’t bioavailable to my knowledge.

Has a lot to do with the various polymers and esters used. If you spread a bunch of fertilizer bound in most any plastic around would you expect it to work?

As for the OP, no idea sorry. Is there anything that makes you think that powder is still produced today?

It is a fertilizer, but not immediately bioavailable & very slow nitrogen release. And of course not cost effective! LOL But it won't hurt your lawn.

You could always use it in say pistol loads work up from a low charge.
