[QUOTE="wonderman4, post: 1780562, member: 72101"] Two years ago, a long time friend's son wanted to go deer hunting and didn't have a rifle. I told him I had one he could use. I started looking for ammo for it and couldn't find any right off hand, so I started scrounging thru the stash. I found some. Originally loaded for this particular rifle in 1976. "Lord amighty" I thought to myself. I decided it was good back then so it still should be good now. He wanted to go sight it in, but I told him it was spot on last time I shot it, so it was up to him. He decided he would take a chance on it. On that particular trip, he took an admirable white tail buck (at least admirable for the Texas Hill Country), a 105 lb pig, and a turkey. I asked him if he had to sight it and he replied "hell no, it was driving tacks just like you said". So, that is one instance of there being no bullet weld in ammo that was almost as old as he was at the time. I offered no risk to him in that I fired a few rounds of that stuff just a few months before season opened. After he got back, I shot all those cartridges and loaded another box of fresher stuff.
