Re: unknown powder
This came out of factory loaded ammo? If so the only thing you could do with it would be to recreate the factory rounds with the same, or slightly lighter weight bullets. I'd also back off the powder charge just a tad.
Of course the easy & correct answer is to dispose of the powder.

I agree.
How many grain's were loaded per round?
I pulled some 8mm mauser a couple week's ago and plan to use a 30 grain lighter boolit then was originally loaded.

Re: unknown powder
Save it for New Years Eve, pour it in a shallow pile, pour a trail to the pile, wait for dark. Flick a match at the trail and begin singing, "Auld Lang Syne"....
