Title: Forgot how old they are
Post by: Old Timer on May 12, 2020, 09:12:10 AM
I forget how old these are but they payed off as a hardwoods loads. Took one of my biggest birds with them last week. I guess it pays not to get rid of older ammo.

Just keep them in a dry place, I keep mine in an ammo box with a rubber seal inside my closet. I don't throw away shells because they are old unless they appear damaged
