    I've been shootin' some Winchester & Remington stuff from the early '70s without a problem

      I've shot probably 15-20 16rd boxes of old German 9mm made in 1941-1943

        A detectives dad heard I was looking for 22. He sent me a thousand in two pristine bricks he bought in the late 40's early 50's. It looks like the day it left the factory.

            I'll see how it shoots and report back. It's Peters brand and even if it don't shoot the brick boxes and individual boxes are probalby collector items. Perfect condition too.

            I usually shoot 22 at a pretty slow rate so I'll watch for squibs.

              It's best destroyed... by firing it at the range since you only have that few rounds. I would buy some newer stuff for self defense, but that ammo ought to be fine.
