Reminiscing and old ammo

[gat]

Keep it coming! This stuff is cool! Old powder cans???

Cleaned out a deceased clay shooter's basement loaded with old DuPont powder cans and primers that came in wooden trays. Probably should have kept one of the trays and cans but sold it all on ebay.

So many shooters are misinformed and think ammo that's over a few years old isn't fresh enough to fire safely. Used to run 30 carbine ammo with WWII manufacture dates with no problem. That was in the 90's!

Im still shooting it

I've got a couple boxes of .284 Winchester that somebody had necked down to 6.5mm and written their load on the box along with the date, 1973.

First rifle as a 12 year old kid was a SMLE No1Mk3* and I could afford to buy a single box of this ammo every month to shoot at the Service Rifle Club and shoot the odd feral pig. I wish now I had kept some of it but if course I fired every round.
