old ammo
My dad the other day Gabe me a bag from the eighties full of scattered ammo. I've seen this bagbag throughout my child hood. Ammo on appearance looks fine, but I know it's just been in the garage. If it were a small about I'd toss it, my quotation is what are the odds somethings wrong with it?

Its probably dangerous, so I will dispose of this hazardous material for you.

Ammo from the eighties is not old. People still have and regularly shoot much, much older ammo. Are they reloads or factory? Will not make a difference as to age just in who loaded and do I trust them?

I have ammo from the 80s also. Found it in the pockets of my old pair of parachute pants. Shot great!!!

I've shot ammo from the 40's and it functioned fine. As long as the ammo has been stored properly it should be fine.

That's what I meant! Storage. It doesn't look corroded or anything, but was in a sports bag from break dancing days. AlL factory ammo. I'll just make sure I wear glasses. Wife is out tomorrow so I'll sneak off and spend four or five hundred of it

I would not shoot these, they probably have collector value...

Most definitely get one - one of the more fun guns to shoot IMO, and you already have a stash of mags and ammo!

I inherited a 1902 colt .38 auto and a .357 python with tons of ancient ammo from my grandad who was a Deputy Sheriff. The .357 ammo is from the 60's and the .38 auto ammo is quite a bit older. I've not had a problem with the .357 stuff, but the older .38 ammo fails to fire about 10% of the time. I'm amazed that old ammo even fires at all.
