Is it possible to remove the powder from ammunition and use the powder in other shells? I was the one to reload it and am 100 % sure of the powder type. Will powder deteriorate or change in any way once it is in the brass shell. The ammo has been store cool dark and dry and is less than 2 years old.

Why not just shoot it and remove any possiblity that one round is a different brand of powder, it was loaded over a year ago, can you really remember accurately back that far. If it is not accurate with the load that is in it, pull the bullet reduce the load a grain or 2 and reseat the bullet. Unless you have a whole pile of it ,a can of powder is a lot cheaper than a damaged gun.

I thought that buying the 200rnds of 7.52 surplus might be easier as I wouldn't have to remeasure the charges, it's be a simple swap.
ANd I could save the .308 brass.
Anyone know the sepcs of the districorp 7.62 nato powder load and bullet weight?

As long as you KNOW what powder it is.
I have pulled appart 60+ year old .303 British military ammo, the cordite was in fine shape, and the primers still made a nice hot bang.
