The question has been asked a number of times before. 

The short answer is, if its dry, it will last ages and ages (as in much longer than you are needing it to).

So long as it's sealed airtight in a drum it should keep for a very long time.  If you were enthusiastic you could even purge the headspace with welding gas :)
