[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1708951, member: 2736"] I personally don't think It has anything to do with the age of the ammo because when ammo goes bad, it normally becomes acidic and starts to eat through the case. Also when you open a container of old powder you can smell the degradation. and should not use it. I have shot 50+year old ammo and it was fine. even some of the corrosive ammo that was 75+years old, and as long as the cases looked good it worked fine. As I said, if it looks bad I don't shoot it in anything and usually just pull the bullets and throw the rest away. But if you are not sure about the quality or the powder charge or even someone else's reloads, Dispose of it in a safe manor. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
