I'm not a powder sniffer

, but I have noticedn in general V-V powders don't have the smell we all have learned to love like the IMR powders. And you are right , some of the 100 Series smell almost putrid.
Of course I'm a bit older and the olfactory senses aren't as sharp as they used to be. Shucks, a lot of things aren't like they usta was.
Best wishes, Bill
