Just bought a 5lb can and when I got it home I noticed it wasnt sealed up. Should it be? Never seen one not sealed up before. Bought it from a big shop which sells lots of supplies. Looks like r15. Probably paranoid. Thoughts?

You might want to contact the vendor and see what they have to say about it. I would think a reputable one would exchange it. All my powder has always been sealed. Even without cross-contamination or other issues, moisture alone should be a concern.

RL-15 has a hard plastic seal on the cover kind of like a bottle of water. If that was broken when you bought it I would exchange it. You never know what someone might've or could've put in it.
I don't recall RL-15 having a plastic/foil like seal like IMR/Varget does.

That makes me feel better. I've never seen one without the foil, but I've never used a larger can of RL15 before. I didn't notice breaking the cap when I twisted off the cap, but I wasn't thinking about it, I just noticed no foil.
Thanks

I've had the seal come off with the lid on other Alliant powders.

seal on mine has never been stuck real good. usually comes off with the cap when I open it.
